Chapter 363

Xin Bi met with Pang Tong, but did not negotiate a result, and returned to Yuan Tan's army.

He just returned to the army and came to Yuan Tan's tent, Yuan Tan couldn't wait to ask, "How is it?" Did Pang Shiyuan agree to our request? ”

"Not to mention our request, Pang Shiyuan even put forward his idea." Xin Bi replied: "I can't be the master, but I can't think of any other way to refute it, so I can only come back and see the eldest son first, and then make a decision after a discussion." ”

Hearing from Xin Bi's words, Yuan Tan's face suddenly didn't look good, and he asked, "What did Pang Shiyuan say?" ”

Xin Bi told Yuan Tan what Pang Tong said.

The more Yuan Tan listened, the more ugly his face became, and when he finished speaking, he asked, "Did you promise him?" ”

"How could I agree to such an important matter?" Xin Bi replied: "You must ask the eldest son before you can make further plans." ”

"Pang Shiyuan deceives people too much." Yuan Tan slapped on the table and said to Xin Bi: "He has no sincerity in peace talks, and I don't need to talk to him anymore, you go to the next battle letter and ask him to prepare, the two armies are fighting a few times!" ”

"Eldest son, by no means!" As soon as Yuan Tan finished speaking, Xin Ping next to him said: "The lord has already given an order, if you fight Pang Shiyuan again at this time, it will be nothing more than going against the will of the lord." may cause dissatisfaction with the lord, but it will not do the eldest son any good. ”

Looking at Xin Ping, Yuan Tan asked, "Then what do you think I should do?" A city is 50,000 hanging money, why didn't he Pang Shiyuan grab it? ”

"He just fancied the eldest son, and he didn't dare to be serious about this matter." Simbi said: "I think it is indeed feasible for him to propose the method of exchanging the city for the city, but as for the surplus city, it is really unacceptable to pay 50,000 yuan for a city." ”

"Fifty thousand hanging money, but how long does Qingzhou pay taxes?" Yuan Tan said: "You go to Pang Tongjun again, ask him, we don't have 50,000 hanging money." Either one city for another, plus 20,000 yuan, and return all the extra cities to us. Otherwise, I can only rearrange my troops with him, and the two armies will fight. ”

"Dare to ask the eldest son, is this the final bottom line?" Simbi asked.

"Of course, it's the bottom line." Yuan Tan replied: "The two armies have been fighting for so long, and we have not gained any benefits, but we have lost 20,000 hanging money. Although they also suffered losses, 20,000 yuan could comfort the dead and wounded. Speaking of which, we still suffered a big loss. ”

"If Pang Shiyuan has other requests, how should I respond?" Simbi asked.

"Tell him that I won't agree to any more requests." Yuan Tan replied: "If he wants to get things done, I will wait here, and ask him to prepare and lead the soldiers and horses to fight with me." ”

"I understand what the eldest son means." Xin Bi replied: "I'll go see Pang Shiyuan." ”

"I'll go this time." Xin Ping said: "Pang Shiyuan always goes there alone, but it makes him feel that we are begging him." I went there with a tougher attitude, and I could also make Pang Shiyuan understand that as long as I didn't agree to the conditions this time, the two sides could only continue to fight. We have set out the conditions, and we have enough sincerity. If he has anything else to say, we will also have something to respond to when the lord asks him in the future. ”

Yuan Tan nodded: "Then you can go." ”

Xin Ping agreed and left the tent.

After he left, Yuan Tan asked Xin Bi again: "Didn't you tell Pang Shiyuan that if he didn't agree to peace talks, we would soon be able to drive straight into Xuzhou?" ”

"Got it." Xin Bi replied: "Pang Shiyuan didn't care at all, but he told me that if the two armies continued to fight, he would Chen Shuzhi step up the attack on Qingzhou." After our army approached Xuzhou, Lu Fengxian would come to meet him, and the lord's face was not good-looking. And we are in the hands of Lu Fengxian, there is no chance of winning at all. ”

The news of Lu Bu's defeat of Cao Cao in Dangshan had already reached Yuan Tan's ears.

Cao Cao has always been strong, and his military strength is stronger than Lu Bu, and he actually suffered two big losses in Dangshan.

As for what it would be like to meet Lu Bu, Yuan Tan had long imagined it.

Lu Bu is brave and powerful, and it is definitely not something that he and his generals can deal with.

Without the strategy of the Yuan family army and Cao Cao, even if they really killed Xuzhou, it would be impossible to get any benefits from there.

The best way to deal with Pang Tong is to take advantage of the fact that the two armies still have room to turn around, and suffer some small losses to end the matter like this.

Yuan Tan's face was very bad, and Xin Bi, who didn't get any benefit from seeing Pang Tong, didn't dare to say anything, just stood facing him.

After a while, Yuan Tan said to Xin Bi: "You have worked hard this time, I want to be quiet, you go back and rest first." ”

Simbi said yes and withdrew.

When he walked out of the tent, Yuan Tan threw all the things on the table in front of him to the ground.

The thing hit the ground, alarming the guards guarding outside.

The guards ran in one after another, and when they saw things all over the ground, Yuan Tan frowned as if he was thinking about something, and they were all dumbfounded, not even daring to ask what was going on.

The guards led by the "Eldest Son...... tentatively wanted to ask Yuan Tan what had happened.

Yuan Tan yelled at them: "Get out!" Get out of here! ”

Not daring to touch his moldy head, the guards hurriedly retreated.

was ordered by Yuan Tan to meet Pang Tong's Xin Ping, and soon after came to Pang Tong's army.

The guard led him to Pang Tong, and he bowed to Pang Tong, Zang Ba, and Sun Guan: "Xin Ping has seen General Pang, General Zang, and General Sun. ”

"It was the younger brother of Xin Gong who came before, how will this change Xin Gong to come?" Pang Tong pretended to be very surprised and asked Xin Ping: "Could it be that he returned to the army and was punished by Yuan Xiansi because he passed back my meaning?" ”

"General Pang, don't get me wrong." Xin Ping said: "My brother came to see the general before, and it is true that some words are inappropriate, and he may have offended the general. The eldest son wondered if it was time for someone who could talk, so I came. ”

"It seems that Gong Xin will be more tactful than Brother Ling when he speaks." Pang Tong said with a smile: "But the current thing is not euphemistic and clear, I think it's better to get straight to the point and explain it directly." ”

"I think that's more appropriate." Xin Ping replied: "Don't hide it from General Pang, the conditions you put forward cannot be agreed to by our patriarch......

"It turns out that Gong Xin came here to politely reject me." Pang Tong interrupted him, pinched his chin and said thoughtfully: "Then please ask Gong Xin to go back and tell Yuan Xiansi that he doesn't agree to my conditions, and I can't accept his conditions." Since the two sides can't talk about one place, they should prepare for a fight earlier. ”

He stood up, arched his hand to Xin Ping and said, "Gong Xin has come here for a hard time, since we have nothing to talk about, please go back." ”

Pang Tong didn't want to talk about it, but as soon as he came up, he asked Xin Ping to tell Yuan Tan that he could arrange troops and prepare to fight, which made Xin Ping suddenly feel a little passive.

Afraid that things would be messed up like this, he hurriedly said to Pang Tong: "General Pang, don't misunderstand, I'm not here to tell the general that there is no need to talk about it......"

"I have already asked just now, when Yuan Xiansi returns our city, there are three cities in Qingzhou in the hands of our army, which means that Yuan Xiansi only needs to give me 150,000 hanging money." Pang Tong said: "In fact, the current peace talks are undoubtedly profitable for Yuan Xiansi. The longer he drags on, the more cities General Chen Shuzhi may capture, and in the end, I am afraid that the 150,000 yuan will not be able to pass away. ”

"150,000 hanging money is not a small amount for anyone." Xin Ping said to Pang Tong: "My father-in-law still means that, since the Marquis of Chu and my lord have the intention of truce, if we are still entangled here, we will violate their military orders." Neither for the eldest son nor for General Pang, there is no benefit. ”

"I don't care." Pang Tongyi said with a nonchalant face: "No matter how dissatisfied Chu Hou is with me, at most, he won't send me to fight much in the future, which makes it difficult for me to make contributions." But if Yuan Xiansi provoked Yuan Benchu's dissatisfaction, he would lose a lot. ”

Pang Tong meant something, and Xin Ping's face suddenly changed.

I wanted to refute it, but after thinking about it, he came here to discuss peace talks with Pang Tong.

Now that the peace talks have not yet been negotiated, if there is a stalemate with Pang Tong first, there is no need to talk about the rest of the matter.

"Don't hide it from General Pang." Xin Ping said: "Recently, the eldest son has spent a lot of money on the whole army, and although Qingzhou also has some taxes, there are not much. 150,000 yuan, we can't raise it at all. I also asked General Pang to raise his noble hand and take a step back from each other, I don't know what the general means? ”

"That's good." Pang Tong replied: "Yuan Xiansi has sincerity, and I can't always be entangled like this." Three cities, give me 100,000 hanging money. ”

"100,000 is too much." Xin Ping said: "We really can't come up with so many ......"

"Ninety-eight thousand hangings, no less." Pang Tong didn't give Xin Ping much room for bargaining for the second time.

The opening only gave up the benefits of two thousand hangs, which is still quite different from the final bottom line that Yuan Tan gave Xin Ping.

also knew that if we talked about it like this, it was likely that the final price would stay at 90,000 hanging money, and Xin Ping directly threw out Yuan Tan's bottom line: "General Pang, what my father-in-law means is that I can only give you another 20,000 hanging money at most." ”

"Okay, that's all!" After Xin commented on it, Pang Tong agreed without even thinking about it.

He agreed so readily that Xin Ping was stunned.

looked at Pang Tong in astonishment, and Xin Ping was full of depression.

If he knew that he promised so quickly, and pressed the money down a little more, maybe he could lose less.

The words were already spoken, and when he found out that he had been fooled, Xin Ping could only pour bitter water into his stomach.

The posture that Pang Tong put on just now, looking at it, is to make peace if you give money, and if you don't give money, you will fight......

Who can see that the benefits he wants are not much......

Licking his lips, Xin Ping said to Pang Tong: "Since General Pang has no opinion, then we will hand over the city......"

"That's not going to work." Pang Tong said: "Of course, the city is the final delivery, and I have to see the money before that." ”

"Deliver the city first, we won't lose General Pang's money." Xin commented and said: "The eldest son's personality, General Pang should have heard of it......"

"I'm not familiar with Yuan Xiansi." Pang Tong interrupted him: "No matter who mentions the good or bad of other people in front of me, I just listen to it, and I will never take it to heart." Unless I actually come into contact with that person, I will judge by myself whether the person is good or bad. ”

Seeing that no matter what he said, it was impossible to convince Pang Tong, Xin Ping swallowed his spit, still thinking about how to phrase it.

Pang Tong continued: "Just like many people said earlier that Chu Hou is not a good person, but since I have been in contact with Chu Hou for so long, I have found that he and others are completely different.

"100,000 is too much." Xin Ping said: "We really can't come up with so many ......"

"Ninety-eight thousand hangings, no less." Pang Tong didn't give Xin Ping much room for bargaining for the second time.
