In order to show the sincerity of the peace talks, but also for fear of causing unnecessary conflicts, Gongsun Chan ordered the army to retreat 30 miles to the village, and the two armies repeatedly discussed.

Within a few days, Yuan Shao suddenly got the news that the angels Ma Riyan and Zhao Qi arrived, personally greeted them a hundred miles away, and learned that the two came to persuade the two families to strike the army.

Knowing the situation of the war at this time, and knowing Yuan Shao's bottom line from his mouth, although Tian Feng tried his best to dissuade him, he had to give up because he was no longer trusted by Yuan Shao.

With Yuan Shao's willingness to exchange the Hejian Kingdom for the rest of the counties, the angel and his party rushed to the Gongsun Zhan camp the next day, accompanied by Xu You.

Taifu Ma Riyan, Taifu Zhao Qi and others came to Gongsun Zhan's camp, and saw that the morale of the Zhan army was high and the army was prosperous, and they all sighed: "In this way, Yuan Shaoyan can be undefeated." ”

I thought that the Taifu Ma Riyan and the servant Zhao Qi didn't want to touch the soft nail like Xu You, so they had to temporarily return to Yecheng after staying for a day.

The news brought back by the angel suddenly made Yuan Shao anxious, he thought that Gongsun Chan would sell these two people a thin layer of noodles no matter what, and he didn't want the result to be the same as before, when he was depressed, Xu Yu made another move, and said: "In fact, Gongsun Chan has already agreed, but Liu Lan has been in the way from it twice and three times, if this person can be made to agree, then the matter of peace can be done." ”

Immediately, the two discussed, prepared a generous gift, and prepared to give it to Liu Lan, so that he could say that he would become one and two.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Liu Lan and Gongsun Zhan consulted with everyone in the tent, and said that they would reject angels in the morning; When the angels turned ugly, they all laughed out loud.

While everyone was laughing. Liu Lan had an idea, and added two more under the existing conditions. The first article remains the same, which is still to force Yuan Shao to cede the Hejian State; Two articles have been added: compensation for money and goods. as compensation for Gongsun Zhan's dispatch of troops; Article 3: As the culprit of this battle, please ask Yuan Shao to hand over the main culprit Tian Feng and coerce him to surrender.

This first article is what Gongsun Chan values the most, as for the second and third articles, they are all his temporary ideas, although Gongsun Chan does not value them, but these two items are the most beneficial and direct weapons for Liu Lan to strengthen himself, even if he is half or seven three points with Gongsun Chan in the end, he can also benefit a lot.

Liu Lan's proposal was immediately accepted by Gongsun Zhan, who planned to make it when he negotiated with the angel the next day. At this moment, the herald came to report: Yantian Yu was defeated in the plain, and he was waiting outside the tent at this time.

This sudden bad news made Liu Lan and Gongsun Zhan's established plan have to be changed, especially after summoning Tian Yu and Zhen Yan to ask about the details of the defeat, Liu Lan could only give up other conditions and persuade Gongsun Zhan not to delay any longer, and sell a favor to Angel tomorrow and withdraw back to Beiping.

"Why is that?"

"Brother, Tian Yu is defeated. The plain is only in the wan, if it is delayed any longer, Yuan Shao will recall Yan Liang instead, and the gains outweigh the losses. Then Cao Cao divided his troops into Hebei. Once the Montenegrin army is broken, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

At this time, Gongsun Zhan obeyed Liu Lanyan, and agreed when he said so. After negotiating some details, everyone went to their respective accounts and rested.

Early the next morning. The angel and Xu Yu came again, when they came. prepared a lot of gifts, and secretly sent people to Liu Lan's tent. Since this is the case, Liu Lan naturally wants to be a favor. snickered with everyone, his face straightened, and said, "Let Xu Yu come in the tent to see." ”

Xu Yu came into the tent, and there were several people carrying three large boxes behind him, Liu Lan heard the sound at first, and hurriedly squinted his eyes slightly, waiting to see the two big boxes behind him, but closed his eyes again.

After entering the tent, Xu You saw that Liu Lan's eyes were closed, his face turned red, and he scolded the villain in his heart, coughed dryly, and bowed down and said, "Xu You has seen General Liu." ”

"I don't know where Mr. Xu came from, and what is this box?" Liu Lan pretended to be at a loss and said.

"It's just a small courtesy, talk about your heart."

As he spoke, he personally opened the box behind him, and the jewels in the tent were shining brightly.

Liu Lan looked at the first box, only to see that there were some pearl agate and some jade, and one of the jade-carved horses attracted his attention deeply.

Liu Lan came to Han Ruonian, and had some experience in identifying jade, and the jade horse in front of him was not only emerald green, pure and warm, but also lifelike, and the production was vivid, only this thing can be described as priceless, not to mention the rest of the two boxes full of gold and cloth, sighed: "Mr. Xu, this gift is not light, but I am afraid that Liu will not dare to accept it." Saying that, he waved his hand and refused: "As the saying goes: 'No merit is not punished', Mr. Xu should take it back!" ”

Xu You shook his head and smiled: "There is something that wants to annoy Derangong." ”

"I'm afraid Mr. Xu has found the wrong person, how can he do something that requires such a valuable gift!"

Xu You sneered in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, and said: "If General Liu can't do this, let alone mention others." ”

"Oh?"

Liu Lan knew the purpose of Xu You's trip, but he had to play Tai Chi with him, and he was puzzled, and said, "But I don't know what it is?" ”

"It's easy to say, it's hard to say, it's just a matter of the general's words."

Liu Lan, who had a lot of time, can be said to have brought him step by step into the trap he designed, but Xu You was at a loss about it, but at this time, seeing that Liu Lan had the intention of talking down, he naturally would not give up, and he was not going around the pass with Liu Lan, and said straight to the point: "Deran Gong, Gong, Ming people don't say dark words in front of them, Xu is here for peace talks, if Deran Gong is willing to say a few good words at Gongsun Beiping, these gifts are all owned by the general." ”

"So that's what happened?" Liu Lan looked like he suddenly realized, but then his face turned embarrassed, and he said, "Hey, don't hide it from Mr. Xu, I'm afraid that I will be difficult to do this." Peeking at Xu You, he saw that his face instantly turned bleak, but he changed his face again, and said, "But Lan is willing to give it a try, as for whether it will be successful or not, I dare not guarantee it!" ”

"My lord said that as long as Duke Deran is willing to say something, there will be heavy thanks after the matter is completed."

Liu Lan smiled but didn't answer, got up and stroked his hands and came to the two boxes, picked up a palm-sized piece of gold, and his eyes were dazzling: "Then these ......" looked at Xu Youdao greedily.

"These have long been General Liu's things......"

Xu You didn't finish his words. was interrupted by Liu Lan and put down the gold. Seriously, he said, "Okay, I'm going to see Bergui." ”

Out with him. Looking at Liu Lan's back as he left in a hurry, a hint of cunning flashed in the corner of Xu You's eyes, and he turned out of the tent with a secret laugh in his heart. On the way to Gongsun Zhan's tent, Liu Lan also laughed, and Zhen Yan on the side sneered even more, saying: "The real image that the general pretended to be just now, I almost took it seriously!" ”

"Am I pretending?"

Liu Lan looked at Zhen Yan meaningfully, and said profoundly: "With so many treasures, how can I, Liu Lan, withstand the temptation." This time, he must persuade Bogui to agree to Yuan Shao's conditions. ”

After speaking, everyone laughed heartily and walked towards Yuan Shao's tent.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Liu Lan entered the big tent, only to see that the two messengers were already sitting upright, looking at him in unison, with an indescribable look of urgency on their faces, they must have known the details of Xu You's purchase of him. Immediately, the two of them who did not leave a trace salute and turned to Gongsun Zhan's side. Whisper in your ear.

Seeing Liu Lan like this, the two didn't know what the result of the purchase was, so they secretly speculated in their hearts, and suddenly saw Xu Yu coming with a spring breeze on his face. Immediate relief. And Gongsun Zhan on the side heard Xu You give him a gift, laughed in his heart, and said softly: "What gift did Xu You give to the virtuous brother?" ”

"Yuan Shaoke is really generous. A box of gold, a box of brocade. There was also a box of jade, and among them was a jade horse. Absolute value. Liu Lan smashed his mouth and sighed in admiration.

Gongsun Chan snickered and said, "Brother Xian, then we still follow the original plan?" ”

"Of course."

Blessed to the soul, Liu Lan's eyes showed greed, and he said in a low voice: "Since Yuan Shao is so rich, I think it's better to add the second one, and explore Yuan Shao's bottom first." ”

Gongsun Zhan thought for a while, looked at Liu Lan and said with a dumb smile: "When did the virtuous brother become so greedy for money. ”

Liu Lan's face was shocked, and he said embarrassedly: "Isn't this all forced......"

As the saying goes, it's easy to do things at the dinner table, Gongsun Chan adhered to Liu Lan's suggestion, although he had been sloppy, but when he arrived at the dinner table, Gongsun Chan changed his tone and agreed to Yuan Shao's suggestion.

Just when everyone thought that the matter was done, Gongsun Chan added another condition for compensation, and under his careful calculation, the cost of this military dispatch rose to an astronomical amount.

was so panicked that Xu You didn't dare to make a decision, and immediately returned to Yecheng to listen to Yuan Shao's opinion.

And Yuan Shao naturally would not agree to such an unreasonable request from Gongsun Zhan, and just when he made up his mind to cancel the negotiations, the news of the loss of Lecheng County came.

This news forced Yuan Shao to return to the negotiating table again and agree to pay 10,000 taels of gold as a reward.

With such a reply, Xu You came to Gongsun Zhan's tent again, and after proposing the bottom line to Gongsun Zhan, Xu You naturally got a refusal, but he hurriedly gave Liu Lan a look, hoping that he could say something from it.

And Liu Lan also had the right time to work together with Gongsun Chan to complete this double reed, so that the two families finally came to the road of peace talks, and the next day the two sides signed a document, and Gongsun Chan successfully obtained all the control of Wanliang Gold and Hejian State.

Just when Gongsun Zhan led the army back to Youbeiping, the news of Zhao Yun's breakthrough of Lecheng came, and the two looked at each other, both of them smiled dumbly and bitterly, if this battle report arrived a day earlier, they would no longer use the existing Hejian County as a bargaining chip.

But at this time, under the witness of the angel, the two had no choice but to say goodbye, but then the news of Cao Cao's big break of the Black Mountain Army came again, and the two couldn't help but sigh Fortunately, what to talk about in the end, otherwise it will drag on, once Cao Cao enters Hebei, this battle will really be a complete failure, and now the short-lived Gongsun Zhan will be difficult to drag on.

Immediately Liu Lan led the headquarters to return to Liaodong, and Guan Yu and others, who had withdrawn from the siege, also left the plain with their troops and returned to Xiangping, as for Zhao Yun, he needed to hand over with the Hejian Taishou arranged by Gongsun Zhan, and he needed to continue to be stationed in Hejian, but he did not return together, and after arriving in Youbeiping, Gongsun Chan thanked Liu Lan for playing Liu Lan as Liaodong Taishou in front of Liu Lan's face to the court, although he had already exercised the authority of Liaodong Taishou, but after all, it was his own seal. And now, as long as Emperor Han Xian agrees, then his fake and nameless Liaodong Taishou will be regarded as well-deserved.

The battle of Jizhou, which lasted for half a year, finally came to an end, and Liu Lan also rushed back to Xiangping a year ago, ushering in a good omen for 193...... (To be continued.) )
