"Huh." Gongsun Chan sneered: "Gong Yuan still has credibility now? I've heard a thing or two about those things between him and Liu Bei, but he doesn't look like a trustworthy person! ”

Mi Zhu was not angry when he heard this, and smiled slightly: "Why did the general say this? Is there anything wrong with the matter between Yuan Gong and Liu Bei? Yuan Gong's credibility has never had any problems, why can't the general believe it? ”

"What's wrong?" Gongsun Zhan looked at Mi Zhu unkindly: "I always thought that Yuan Gong was a man who made a promise, but the Tongguan Alliance made a big disappointment!" Breaking promises and not being faithful is not something that the lord of one side should do! ”

"Where did the general learn about the Tongguan Alliance?" Mi Zhu asked unhurriedly: "Could it be from Liu Xuande!" ”

"So what? Dare to act, Yuan Gong dare to do, are you still afraid of what others say? ”

"Yuan Gong is above board and honest in everything he does, and he is never afraid of being judged by others, but Yuan Gong will never admit gossip with ulterior motives." Mi Zhu said lightly: "Yuan Gong is allied with Liu Bei under the city of Tongguan, but it is only agreed that after the capture of Tongguan, Tongguan will be handed over to our army, and our army will let Liu Bei pass the pass." In this regard, did Yuan Gong breach the contract? ”

"No, but..."Gongsun Chan was interrupted by Mi Zhu before he could speak.

"But Yuan Gong didn't fulfill the agreement to give Liu Bei the promised equipment, and feint to attack Xuzhou, right?" Mi Zhu chuckled and said, "Is that what Liu Xuande said right? ”

"Isn't it?" Gongsun Chan asked rhetorically.

"Yuan Gong never reached any agreement with Liu Xuande, but a deal. The agreement cannot be violated, and the transaction can be postponed or cancelled. Yuan Gong traded the land of Jingbei with ordnance and equipment, and the two sides initially made a verbal deal, but now Liu Xuande did not hand over the land of Jingbei to Yuan Gong, and Yuan Gong did not hand over the ordnance to Liu Xuande, is this wrong? Mi Zhu asked.

"I'm afraid that now Liu Xuande wants to hand over the land of Jingbei to Duke Yuan, and Duke Yuan won't accept it!" Gongsun Chan sneered.

"Yes, why put the fat in your mouth back and pay for it?" Mi Zhu asked: "Yuan Gong did not violate the transaction by doing this, Liu Bei did not lose anything, and Yuan Gong can get the maximum benefit, what's wrong?" ”

"Then is it an agreement or a deal between Yuan Gong and a certain this time?" Gongsun Chan snorted coldly.

"Naturally, it's a convention."

"It's an agreement now, I'm afraid it will become a deal then!"

"It's just not an agreement, what can the general do?" Mi Zhu, who has always behaved as gentle as jade, rarely toughened up and said: "Duke Yuan just attacked Liaodong directly without informing the general, what can you do with the general?" Yuan Gong didn't need to tell the general at all, but now he is honest, doesn't the general see Yuan Gong's sincerity? Liu Xuande and Yuan Gong have always been enemies of life and death, and Yuan Gong was only forced by the situation to get along with them. The two sides are not sincere alliances at all, they are just using each other, Yuan Gong is a step ahead, and what is wrong with pitting the other party without violating his reputation? On the contrary, Yuan Gong and the general have been friends for many years, and they are close friends, when have you ever cheated the general? ”

Faced with Mi Zhu's series of forced questions, Gongsun Zhan's face was red but he didn't know how to speak. Tian Yu in the hall couldn't see it, so he stood up and snorted coldly: "Brother Zizhong is worthy of being a businessman, and he is really eloquent, clever and clever in his tongue, reversing black and white. Liu Bei and Yuan Gong came together because of the situation and interests, so Yuan Gong took the initiative to find the lord with a sincere heart and had nothing to ask for? Yuan Gong's previous kindness, wasn't it to check and balance Yuan Shao? ”

"Yuan Gong naturally has the heart to check and balance Yuan Shao, and it is not entirely to help the general. Yuan Gong is not a saint, how can he be so selfless? But if everything Yuan Gong did before was all for profit, and there was no goodwill at all, this is not right! Mi Zhu said indifferently: "Does the general remember the ordnance that Yuan Gong gave and sold at a low price before the Battle of Wolf Juxu?" Speaking from the heart, if Yuan Gong was only for profit and had no good intentions, why should he help the general? Yuan Gong knew that the general was a hero of the Han Dynasty, and he had been guarding Youzhou and resisting foreign races for many years, and he had long been yearning for it, and he couldn't wait to have a drink with the general. But the situation was critical, and he never had the opportunity to meet the general, so he gave up. Yuan Gong really wanted to have a relationship with the general, so he helped him many times, and the matter of the northern frontier was even more informed to the general in advance, and he did not dare to exceed the slightest rule, but he never thought that the general only had the word interest in his eyes! ”

"Something else!" Gongsun Zhan was ashamed of what Mi Zhu said, and couldn't help but say: "Yuan Gong's heart and Yuan Gong's kindness are remembered, but it is just the land of Liaodong, what about giving Yuan Gong?" ”

"Lord!" Tian Yu said anxiously, he didn't expect Gongsun Chan to be so strong as to say such a thing in this situation.

"The general's words are serious!" Mi Zhu did not directly follow Gongsun Zhan's words to settle the matter as Tian Yu worried, but dissuaded: "The northern frontier was defeated by the general, and Yuan Gong never had the slightest intention of watching, and the attack on Liaodong was just to completely solve the trouble in the northern frontier, in case the general and Yuan Shao fought a decisive battle, these alien races would resurge." As long as the general is there, in the land of northern Xinjiang, Yuan Gong doesn't want it! If the general doesn't believe it, Yuan Gong is willing to write an edict to announce it to the world! ”

Hearing Mi Zhu's sincere words, Gongsun Zhan's face was moved, regardless of the difference in identity, he walked down and patted Mi Zhu's shoulder: "Yuan Gongzhi's sincerity is even, I can't repay it." The edict has to be mentioned again, and a certain letter is given. You can rest assured, a certain will definitely defeat Yuan Shao and not return the grace of Yuan Gong! ”

"Thank you for your trust!" Mi Zhu was also moved, gritted his teeth as if he had made up some kind of determination, and said: "In addition, there are 10,000 sets of equipment here, which were originally handed over to General Gongjin in Yingzhou by fate, and they were privately made for Duke Yuan and given to the general." ”

"How so?" Gongsun Zan was quite happy in his heart, but he still excused himself: "In this way, what should you do with Gong Yuan's punishment?" Forget it. ”

"Walk the talk! A man with iron bones in the general, how can he be a trustworthy person? Mi Zhu said with a resolute face: "Yuan Gong is already good friends with the general, not to mention that the relationship with Yuan Gong is also good, presumably for the sake of the general's face, Yuan Gong will not care too much, maybe he will be rewarded with a certain one!" ”

Gongsun Zhan's heart warmed, patted Mi Zhu's shoulder again, and said in a low voice: "Zizhong has remembered today's kindness, and he will repay him in the future." ”

Mi Zhu's heart moved slightly, and he also whispered as he pretended to be excited: "General Xie! ”

Then Gongsun Chan returned to his main seat and said to the attendants on the left and right: "Go, settle down for a while, you must not be lazy!" ”

"Yes!"

"Thank you, General!" Mi Zhu said goodbye.

As the attendant walked out of the house step by step, looking at the sunset red in the distance, Mi Zhu smiled.
