"Although my lord has not been defeated, now the situation in Youzhou is critical, and it may be difficult for Bai Ma Yicong to hand over to your country for the time being." After hesitating, Tian Yu still said.

"In that case, I'll quit later." When Lu Xun heard this, he said lightly without hesitation, and he wanted to leave.

Gongsun Chan just watched Lu Xun turn around and leave, still slightly disappointed and ashamed, but he didn't move.

"Stop!" Seeing that Lu Xun was so decisive, Tian Yu hurriedly stopped him.

Lu Xun, who had already turned his back, had a flash of light in his eyes, and turned around and looked at Tian Yu calmly: "I don't know if His Majesty Emperor Yan and Brother Guorang have anything else to say?" ”

Tian Yu said in a deep voice: "My Dayan and your country are sincere friends, but Bai Ma Yicong is indeed difficult to entrust for the time being, and I ask your country to give me more time." ”

"Brother Guorang understands his words very well, but it is a bit unfair to my Chu State to drag it out again and again, right? I understand the current difficulties of His Majesty Emperor Yan and Brother Guorang, but I also hope that Brother Guorang can also understand in the next two. Lu Xun said.

Speaking from the heart, although Yuan Shu was ill-intentioned, he did not cheat Sun Zan at all. At the beginning, so much money, food, and ordnance were given, and even the horse armor was given 3,000 pairs of killing weapons, and these costs were enough to be worth the 500 remaining white horse righteous servants. And Gongsun Zhan is now forced by the situation, but he just wants to miss the appointment and delay, which is unfair to Yuan Shu.

"Your Excellency, since we both have difficulties, why don't we each take a step back?" Tian Yu was silent for a moment, and finally compromised.

"How do you take a step back?"

"First of all, my Dayan is inseparable from the White Horse Yizun, and it is impossible to give it to your country, but it is okay to share it with the four hundred people of your country for inheritance. But now that Bai Ma Yi has only 500 people left, it will take about two months to re-cultivate about 1,000 people, but I don't know if it is possible? Tian Yu said.

"Okay, just two months, and I hope your country can meet the promise on time." Lu Xun arched his hand.

"What did you say about the money and food before that?" Seeing Lu Xun loosen his mouth, Tian Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said.

When Lu Xun heard this, he smiled slightly: "Your country and my country are allies, and they will work together. Your country is in trouble, how can our country not help? The grain and grass that is enough to feed 30,000 soldiers has already arrived in the Bohai Sea, and it will reach Youzhou within half a month. In addition, our lord also prepared some armor to defend the city and sent it together to express his gratitude. ”

Tian Yu and Gongsun Zan were overjoyed when they heard this, Youzhou has no shortage of capable soldiers, what is lacking is money, food and ordnance, especially the ordnance to defend the city, which is even more scarce.

Tian Yu said with gratitude: "Then thank you to His Majesty Emperor Chu." ”

"In addition, in this war, the two alien races of the Southern Xiongnu and Wuhuan betrayed your country, not only did not try their best to help, but also defected after the war, which is really hateful. Now Yuan Shao's northern expedition to Youzhou, if these two from the northern grassland from both sides of the attack is extremely unfavorable to your country, my lord is willing to deal with it for your country, here to inform your country first. Lu Xun said again.

"That's very good." Tian Yu's face was slightly sluggish, but then he said with a smile.

"Now that the war situation is urgent, I won't stay here and leave here."

After saying that, Lu Xun and Gan Ning bowed respectfully and left slowly

Gongsun Chan sat on the main seat, quietly watched the two leave, and then said slowly: "Guorang, it seems that my Gongsun Chan has completely become a pawn of Yuan Highway." ”

Tian Yu smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, why do you need to be so entangled? Becoming the king and defeating the king, Yuan Highway wants to use us, and it is no harm to us who are now at the end of the road. The key is to develop and strengthen itself, if you can use this to defeat Yuan Shao, what if you are used? ”

"Someone is either entangled, or a little unwilling. Why are these people from families so arrogant, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu don't have a good thing, and the people of the Yuan family are so disgusting. Gongsun Chan said with an ugly face. Yuan Shu's robbery made him feel very unhappy, as if the other party had calculated the current situation at the beginning.

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to be willful based on personal likes and dislikes, Yuan Shao's army will definitely win the Northern Expedition in the near future, and we need to return to Youzhou as soon as possible to prepare." Tian Yu said.

......

"It's really aggrieved, it's obvious that Gongsun Chan broke the contract himself, we still have to be careful to accompany it, I don't know, I think they are taking advantage of it!" After leaving Gongsun Zhan's camp, Gan Ning, who had endured it for a long time with anger in his heart, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and complained hatefully.

"Well, anyway, the pre-emptive effect has been achieved. Gongsun Chan is that dead temper, we can't say a word of cruelty, otherwise it is estimated that with his character, he will turn his face and turn his face, and it is estimated that he will not be able to take it back when the time comes. Lu Xun was quite happy in his heart and said indifferently.

"If you want me to say, wouldn't it be better if we just led the army to come and snatch the White Horse Yicong?" Gan Ning looked like a bandit and said with a big grin

"Why is the White Horse Yicong a White Horse Yicong, don't you know? Even if you snatch it, all you can get is a bunch of corpses, and unless Gongsun Chan speaks or dies, who can make him surrender? Lu Xun rolled his eyes, he was used to Gan Ning's crazy convulsions from time to time and running trains with his mouth full.

"Shall we go back like this now?" Gan Ninghu's way.

"What do you want to do?"

"Hehe, taking advantage of Yuan Shao's Northern Expedition, can we do something? Otherwise, it's not for nothing. Gan Ning rubbed his hands and said excitedly.

"Yuan Shao knows that you are coming, and he will definitely guard against you like a thief, I guess I don't even dare to cross the river, what can you do?" Lu Xun said speechlessly.

"Then don't take the waterway, these brothers of mine are not only water battles, they are dragons on the water, and we are still tigers on land." Gan Ning said proudly. Although his legion talent can only exert the strongest strength on the water, it does not mean that it cannot be used on land, with the elite of 20,000 soldiers under his command and Yuan Shao's greedy enemy rashness, Gan Ning feels that this matter is definitely a problem.

Lu Xun fell into thought when he heard this. What Gan Ning said is right, now that Yuan Shao has defeated Gongsun Zan with an army of 300,000, how can he be willing to retreat, he must want to take Youzhou directly. An army of 300,000 is not a small number, and the amount of grain and grass required cannot be hidden. With Yuan Shao's northward advance, the route of grain and grass transportation will become longer, and there must be a place for Yuan Shao's grain storage near the boundary bridge. There are so many flaws, they can make a big fuss.

With the speed of the march of the navy led by Gan Ning on the river, coupled with the dense rivers near the boundary bridge, it can be said that there is no trace of coming and going, as long as you are careful, there is absolutely no worries. And if it happens, it will definitely be able to relieve a lot of pressure for Gongsun Zhan, and even force Yuan Shao to retreat.

Seeing Lu Xun hesitate, Gan Ning's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly continued to flicker: "Bo Yan, think about it, how can Your Majesty let us come just to help Gongsun Zhan?" The 20,000 soldiers who had worked so hard to organize couldn't just wander around and go back in disgrace. Moreover, you are a first-time soldier in the army, and if you don't show decent achievements, even if Your Majesty prefers you, it will not be easy to promote your official position, and it will be difficult for you to establish meritorious service at that time. Look at Yuan Zhi and Ziming, those boys are now wantonly on their respective battlefields, Yuan Zhi is now in the fourth grade, you can't be left behind by him. At that time, not only your Jinling Academy, but also Your Majesty's face will not look good. ”
