Chapter 438: One official and half a position

Gao Yan listened thoughtfully, as if he understood Fan Yao's intentions. Fan Yao used such a method to deal with Huaiguo at the beginning, and it seems that he wants to repeat his old tricks now. Gao Yan thought for a while, and then asked, "If Ji Xinning dies and doesn't send someone to sue for peace, then what should we do?" Do you want to keep fighting? ”

After hearing this, Fan Yao looked at Zhang Shumo with a smile: "Zhang Gongzi, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Shumo naturally wanted Yan Guo to cause some trouble for Ji Xin, but if he said it directly, he was afraid that Fan Yao would be able to see his ulterior motives at a glance, so he had to say: "If they don't come to negotiate peace, it depends on the degree of resistance of the other party!" If the Jingguo army resists desperately, then let's pretend to involve some of Jingguo's troops, and we can be regarded as completing the help to the Jingguo rebels. If Jingguo's army is vulnerable, it will naturally take advantage of the victory to pursue. If Yan wants to compete with Zheng Guo in the future, he must first unify the northern countries. ”

Fan Yao nodded with satisfaction after listening, and then looked at Gao Yan: "Does the general still have doubts?" ”

Fan Yao thought for a while, and then laughed: "You literati still think too much, since this is the case, then I don't have any opinion." ”

So, the three of them quickly reached an agreement, that is, to agree to the request of the rebels of Jingguo and send troops to the northeast of Jingguo!

Soon, Fan Yao raised the matter in the court, and proposed to pretend to form an alliance with the Jingguo rebels, so as to create pressure on Jingguo and force the other party to come to negotiate peace.

Gongsun Xue agreed almost without thinking, as the saying goes, you will die while you are sick, and now Jingguo is weak, of course he has to blackmail him.

And Zhang Shumo was thinking about his little Jiujiu in his heart. Although Yan Guo agreed to send troops now, the real purpose was not to help Yang Xue and them, he had to find a way to provoke the contradiction between Yan Guo and Jing Guo as much as possible, so that Yang Xue could survive in the cracks.

So Zhang Shumo gathered his subordinates to discuss the matter together.

Liu naturally couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "At the beginning, we came to negotiate peace, and then others thought of the law to make trouble for us, but I didn't expect that now it will be our turn to make trouble for others." ”

Li Mo also had a trace of excitement in his heart, he was originally from Jingguo, but now he is dealing with Jingguo in turn, he is familiar with the way, and he may be reused this time! So Li Mo volunteered and said: "This is not simple, if Jingguo really comes to Yan to negotiate peace, I will go to talk to them as an old general of Jingguo, and then take the opportunity to kill the other party's envoys, won't I get it?" ”

Cai Xun said with some worry after hearing this: "But after all, we are also sending people under the fence, and I am afraid that we will be blamed by Yan Guo for suddenly killing someone, right?" ”

Zhang Shumo naturally understood this, so he didn't propose such a simple and crude method.

Chen Lin thought for a moment, and then proposed: "I have a way, but I don't know if the son is willing?" ”

Zhang Shumo became interested when he heard it: "Let's talk about it first." ”

"Gongzi can find a way to persuade Gongsun Luo to make him the main general of this attack on Jingguo. Then Gongzi can go out with Gongsun Luo, Gongsun Luo is young and vigorous, as long as Gongzi can help him win the battle all the way, presumably he is most likely unwilling to retreat. And if Gongsun Luo has three longs and two shorts on the battlefield, then Yan Guo will not retreat! ”

After Chen Lin finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but applaud, but the only drawback of this plan is that Zhang Shumo also went out to fight together, after all, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, if Zhang Shumo has a good one, it will outweigh the loss.

Zhang Shumo pondered for a moment, even if he went out with Gongsun Luo, he didn't need to go to the battlefield, he only needed to make suggestions behind the scenes, so the risk was not high, so this plan was worth a try!

After making up his mind, Zhang Shumo said to everyone: "Okay! According to Mr. Chen's plan, I will enter the palace now to see His Royal Highness, and you should also prepare as soon as possible, as long as Gongsun Luo agrees, we will go with him! ”

After discussing the countermeasures, Zhang Shumo immediately rushed to the palace and asked to see Gongsun Luo.

Gongsun Luo met Zhang Shumo in the study, and as soon as he saw Gongsun Luo, he asked with a smile: "Zhang Gongzi suddenly came to visit and I don't know what happened?" ”

Zhang Shumo smiled awkwardly, and didn't blame Gongsun Luo for asking himself so, it seemed that he had never come to his palace except for something to come to him.

However, Zhang Shumo still stubbornly said: "Your Highness is really like a god, I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and today I have something to discuss with Your Highness." ”

"Oh?" Gongsun Luo was also interested when he heard this: "What do you want to discuss with me?" Is it for your marriage to Ning'er's sister? ”

"Your Highness is laughing, I am looking for His Highness to discuss something serious, and it is related to your country's expedition to Jingguo."

Gongsun Luo frowned after hearing this: "It has something to do with the expedition to Jingguo?" Then you should find the general, and I am not responsible for related matters, why did you come to me? ”

Zhang Shumo made a big salute to Gongsun Luo, and then said: "It's because I want to borrow the power of His Royal Highness to serve the Yan Kingdom!" ”

'Oh? Gongsun Luo raised his eyebrows: "Do you want me to intercede with the general for you, and then arrange you in the army?" ”

Zhang Shumo shook his head: "I'm a foreign minister, even if I drag the relationship of a general into the army, I'm afraid no general will dare to really use me." But His Highness is different, His Highness is informal, and will never exclude me because of my identity! Therefore, I would like to invite His Royal Highness to go to Jingguo, and then bring him with me. ”

Gongsun Luo smiled, he didn't expect Zhang Shumo to put a high hat on himself, but don't say it, it sounds really comfortable. But Gongsun Luo was not stupid enough to be bribed by a few kind words.

So Gongsun Luo asked Zhang Shumo: "If you want me to go to Jingguo, you have to find a reason for me, right?" In other words, what good can I do if I go to Jingguo? ”

"Doesn't Your Highness want to make a contribution to the country? Jingguo is now suffering from internal and external troubles, most of their troops have been dragged down by the rebels in the south, so there is almost no resistance in the east, Yan Guo will only win and not lose this expedition, whoever serves as the general of this expedition is a credit, what reason does His Highness have to refuse this credit given for nothing? ”。

Gongsun Luo was originally an active militant, and the excitement in his heart after hearing Zhang Shumo's proposal was already unbearable. But after so many things, Gongsun Luo also had a heart, so Chao Zhang Shumo asked, "Then what is the benefit of this matter to Zhang Gongzi?" Could it be that the son of Cheng Zhang also wants to make a share of the war? ”

Zhang Shumo nodded without hesitation: "Your Highness also knows that Your Majesty has promised Miss Ning'er to me, but I don't have any identity in Yan Kingdom, and only by making military achievements can I get an official and a half position, and only with an official position can I match Miss Ning'er, right?" ”
