"Gongsun Chan wants to buy some ordnance and equipment from me, and there are quite a few of them. The equipment of the whole 50,000 iron horsemen is really a good appetite. Yuan Shu put down the letter sent by Lu Bu, picked up the second letter, and said in a low voice.

"Lord, what price is Gongsun Chan willing to pay?" Tian Feng asked.

"A promise." Yuan said in a complicated tone.

"What promise is worth 50,000 horsemen's equipment? Gongsun Chan is too arrogant! Tian Feng said in disbelief.

But Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others were bright-eyed: "Lord, is it difficult?" ”

Yuan Shu nodded lightly: "Gongsun Chan promised that if he loses the decisive battle with Yuan Shao, the remaining White Horse Yicong will be handed over to me." ”

Yuan Shu's words trembled a little, and he had been watching Bai Mayi for a long time. This elite cavalry of the mighty northern frontier is an important part of his westward march after he dominates the world in the future, not to mention 50,000 sets of equipment, even 100,000 sets of Yuan Shu's eyes without blinking. Anyway, it was Gongsun Chan who funded it, and it was Yuan Shao who was unlucky in the end, which was beneficial and harmless to himself.

These equipment were extremely important to Gongsun Zhan, and they were like a tiger with wings, but they did not have much effect on Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao sits on Jizhou, the richest state in the world, and there is no shortage of these ordinary soldiers. And for Yuan Shu, he doesn't care even more, it's just a pile of obsolete goods with dust in the warehouse.

"Lord, Gongsun Chan led the army to fight Yuan Shao in a decisive battle, whether this white horse can be kept is probably unknown, why don't you let Gongsun Chan directly leave three hundred white horse righteous slaves to be safe." Tian Feng suggested directly.

He believes in Gongsun Zhan's credibility, if Gongsun Chan still wants to break his promise in this situation, then it is not him Gongsun Chan. But Gongsun Chan will not break his promise, it does not mean that this white horse will definitely fall into the hands of Yuan Shu. Of course, Gongsun Zhan's defeat was doomed, and Tian Feng also firmly believed in this, but Bai Ma Yicong was very worried about whether he could maintain the establishment after Gongsun Zhan's defeat. As Gongsun Zhan's trump card unit, if Yuan Shao wants to stare at it to the death, Tian Feng doesn't believe it. When Gongsun Chan is defeated, most of the three thousand white horse Yicong will definitely be lost, even if the whole army is annihilated, what will Yuan Shu do when the time comes? Isn't 50,000 sets of armor in vain?

Yuan Shu frowned: "Gongsun Chan bought the ordnance to fight Yuan Shao for a decisive battle, and Bai Ma Yicong is the unit that Gongsun Chan relies on the most, how can he lose his strength and hand it over to me?" If I ask for this, Gongsun Chan will not agree. ”

Tian Feng's face was stunned when he heard this, and he said apologetically: "What the lord said is good, but Feng has not considered it." ”

Guo Jia added: "What Yuan Hao thinks is not unreasonable, although Gongsun Chan is upright, he is still a little cautious, and his actions after the previous Northern Xinjiang War show that this person is not as simple as it seems." If the lord does not emphasize and remind him, I am afraid that when the time comes to war, he will be confused. Although we can't force it, we can make an agreement with it, as long as the wording is appropriate, Gongsun Chan will definitely not refuse. ”

Yuan Shu pondered for a moment, then frowned slightly, and said in a firm tone: "Send an envoy to discuss this matter, Gongsun Chan must try his best to protect the White Horse Righteous Servant, at least leave me a team that is enough to re-establish the White Horse Righteous Servant." Remember, the messenger sent must be a person with a docile personality, and the language should be softer, in addition, give Gongsun Chan an more than 10,000 equipment, even if Gongsun Chan needs it later, as long as it is not too much, it can be allowed. There is only one request, and Gongsun Chan must be asked to do this in person! ”

There are things that you can't get, and if you miss them, you may never get them. This is the case with a military soul legion like Bai Ma Yicong, Yuan Shu is unwilling to let go of any opportunity to take it down, even if Gongsun Chan may break his promise, he must give it a try, at least let himself not regret it in the future.

"The lord is wise!" Guo Jia bowed and said: "This matter will be handed over to Jia, and it will be as the lord wishes." ”

Yuan Shu nodded lightly: "Fengxiao, then it's hard for you." ”

After speaking, Yuan Shu closed his eyes slightly: "Okay, if there is nothing else, you can retreat and prepare for the next battle of Yuzhou." ”

When he heard this, he looked at the last letter on Yuan Shu's desk that was not attended by Yuan Shu, and asked, "My lord, what should I do with Liu Bei's letter, please make it public." ”

Yuan Shu raised his eyes slightly, picked up the last letter in front of him, and summoned the guards beside him: "You, take this letter and burn it." ”

The guards stepped forward and carried out Yuan Shu's order without hesitation, taking the letter and burning it in the brazier beside him.

Looking at the letter that was licked greedily by the flames, Yuan Shu said expressionlessly: "Now that this situation is still talking to a certain person about the transaction under Tongguan at the beginning, should I say that you are stupid, or should I say that you are naïve?" ”

Yuan Shu is not a person who likes to compromise, and the negotiation with Liu Bei under Tongguan was just a false attempt to dispel Liu Bei's vigilance, but in fact, he didn't take it to heart at all. The so-called promise is just a joke that can be erased casually when the gap between strength and weakness is too great, just like the Qin State borrowed and the clan during the Warring States Period.

"Lord, after all, our army has just formed an alliance with Liu Beijun, and it is not good to violate the agreement at this time?" Tian Feng hesitated.

Before Yuan Shu could speak, Jia Xu directly preemptively said: "Yuan Hao's words are true. We did have an alliance with Liu Bei, but after the Battle of Tongguan, this alliance ended. Except for the Tongguan Alliance, we have no agreement with Liu Xuande. What is under Tongguan is just a transaction, and what we promise is that if Liu Xuande takes the initiative to cede the land of Jingbei to us, we will give him armor and send troops to help. But now Liu Bei has not handed over the land of Jingbei to us, and we will lead the army to take it ourselves, so we can't still give Liu Bei a transaction fee, right? Although the deal was initially agreed verbally, we did not obtain the three counties of Jingbei, which is not a breach of contract, it can only be said that the deal broke down, even if our army refuses to trade now, others have nothing to say. The situation has changed, why should we wait for such an action? ”

After listening to Jia Xu's explanation, Yuan Shu nodded with great satisfaction, when he took Fa Zheng to negotiate, he was just thinking about exercising Fa Zheng, and he didn't really want to trade with Liu Bei. After all, with the current situation, Liu Bei is not qualified to trade with him at all. There are no more than 10,000 defenders in Jingbei, and you can easily take down 20,000 or 30,000 troops by yourself, so why do you need to fund the enemy?

Yuzhou is determined to win, and when he falls, he will inevitably turn his face with Liu Bei, and at this time, there is no other meaning in trading with Liu Bei except for being an enemy, and Yuan Shu naturally can't do such a stupid thing.

The situation is changing rapidly, and after Liu Bei sent troops, it was when Yuan Shu sent troops, and there was no time for Yuan Shu to be vain. If Yuan Shu really wanted to use this method to paralyze Liu Bei, it is estimated that before Liu Bei was paralyzed, the other party had already taken Yanzhou and withdrew the army to Yuzhou to garrison. At that time, Yuan Shu will not be able to get anything except the land of Jingbei, so it is better to seize this short time to directly raid and take Yuzhou.

"What Wen He said is good. We did not have a substantive agreement with Liu Bei, but only made a preliminary deal. But the other party did not ship, we did not receive the goods, and now we don't want to trade. The entire Central Plains is fighting, once the battle in Yanzhou or Qingzhou is over, it will be more troublesome for us to take action, and now there is no point in trading with Liu Bei, so let's push it directly. However, for the time being, don't make a public announcement, and try to delay it until Liu Bei is entangled in Yanzhou and can't retreat. Yuan said in a slightly sarcastic tone, his eyes full of smiles.
