The next day, Yuan Shao sent an envoy to Gongsun Chan to ask for a meeting, and immediately summoned Wenwu to discuss in the conference hall, blocking them from getting the news from Yuan Shao's mouth, and they all showed surprised looks, what tricks is this Gongsun Chan playing?

Just as he was guessing in the hall, Tian Feng, who was dressed in a Confucian robe, stepped out of the ranks and said, "Feng thinks that the envoy will come for peace!" Ruofeng's expectation is good, the envoy must be to force the lord to sign the alliance under the city! Therefore, the lord should show the head of the owl to the public in the future, so that the enemy will understand the will of our army, and the soldiers who defend the city will stick to the heart of the city! ”

"No."

As long as Tian Feng's suggestion is right or wrong, someone will inevitably come out to oppose it, and this time it is naturally Yingchuan Guo Tu, who is in dispute with Su Xi, who is in dispute, and said: "The two armies will fight each other, and they will not be killed." What's more, Liu Lan came to help, and the Zan army had obvious advantages, since the other side was willing to negotiate peace, why not let the envoy come in and listen to what he said, and it would not be too late to deal with it. ”

Yuan Shao completely ignored Tian Feng, bowed his head slightly, and said: "What the public rule says is reasonable, let the envoy come to meet him!" ”

~~~~~~~~~~~

Xu Shu lowered the basket from the city wall into Yecheng, and all the way he saw the Shao army was military and murderous, and the personal guards in the governor's mansion were even more morale-high, all the way to the front of the meeting hall, and walked into the hall after the grooming.

Yuan Shao glanced at Xu Shu, he didn't expect to be so young, sneered, and said, "Who are you?" What is the position under the account of Gongsun Zhan? ”

Xu Shu bowed his hand and replied loudly: "Boy Xu Shu did not serve in front of Gongsun Beiping's account, but only temporarily served as a member of the army at Liu Xiangping!" ”

"It turned out to be a little soldier!" Yuan Shao looked cold, and said in a cold voice: "I don't know why you came?" ”

"I see that General Yuan will be defeated every day. I couldn't bear to hurt the living soul anymore, so I sent a kid to persuade the general to surrender the city! ”

"It's ridiculous." Tian Feng came out and said: "With Gongsun Zhan's strength at this time, I can make my lord defeat overnight." It's really a shame to say, if he really can. Send troops to attack. ”

"I don't know Mr. Gao's name?" Xu Shu turned to Tian Feng and bowed to him.

"It's not just Julu Tianfeng!"

"It turned out to be the landlord." Xu Shu turned to look at Yuan Shao and said with a smile: "Sure enough, as my lord said, Tian Feng is just the wisdom of the bottle. He leaned and said to Yuan Shao: "Although my army has not come to the city, General Yuan will not know that Le Cheng is in danger, and when Le Cheng falls, I am afraid it will not be as simple as negotiating peace." ”

"Haha, I think it's because Liu Lan's child is exhausted that he will make this decision. I, Yecheng, would rather be broken than broken. Tian Feng sneered and said: "Before the fall of Hejian, I think Gongsun Chan had already been defeated due to lack of food, and I think it was Gongsun Chan who wanted to surrender!" ”

Xu Shu was speechless for a while, he knew his own affairs, knew that Tian Feng could see it through, but he didn't dare to show it, he just looked at Tian Feng with a smile, but he was thinking about countermeasures in his heart. I looked at it for a moment. After thinking for a while, Xu Shu, who didn't speak, suddenly blessed his heart, laughed loudly, and said, "Could it be that General Yuan is really Cao Cao of Dongjun and Liu Yu of Youzhou?" It's ridiculous. Could it be that General Yuan really believed that he would be able to stop our army's food and grass? Or can Cao Mengde break through Gaotang or rush to the aid of Yecheng? ”

Everyone listened to Xu Shu's words and said the key, and they were silent for a while, what Yuan Shao held was nothing more than Gongsun Zhan's defeat without food. Everyone present hoped that Cao Cao would come to the aid of Yecheng, but these secrets were revealed by Xu Shu. Naturally, I thought that Gongsun Chan had a way to crack it? Turning from joy to sorrow in an instant.

Xu Shu didn't want this to have a miraculous effect, and the corners of his mouth began to smile. He didn't say anything when he looked at the crowd, but waited silently.

Suddenly, I only heard Yuan Shao say: "Gongsun Zan already knows? ”

Although he didn't know what Yuan Shao was talking about, Xu Shu could still guess one or two and said: "It's not just that I know, but that I have a way to crack it." ”

"In that case, then we can only fight!" Yuan Shao's face darkened, and he looked at Xu Shu coldly and said, "If you want me to surrender, it's impossible!" ”

Xu Shu saw Yuan Shao's expression change, and knew that he had murderous intentions, but he didn't seem to see anything on his face, as if nothing happened, and said: "General Yuan is really as my lord said." laughed and said: When the boy came, my lord said that Ming Gong would not agree to surrender on this trip, so my lord was inevitably devastated, and he was willing to take a step back, but he needed Ming Gong to cede the Hejian Kingdom to Gongsun Beiping, as long as he agreed, my lord could guarantee that Gongsun Zan would withdraw immediately! ”

"Liu Lan is really a good calculation, haha, are you a young child when I am the head of my family? If you want to be in the river, it's impossible! Tian Feng laughed.

"When did Jizhou become Tian Feng, do you count?" Xu Shu looked at Tian Feng coldly, then turned to Yuan Shao, and said, "If Tian Feng can represent Ming Gong, the kid will go back to my lord to repay him!" ”

Yuan Shao's face changed slightly, and he said angrily: "Tian Feng, you have to say it again, otherwise I will drive you out of the hall immediately!" ”

"Lord, it seems that Gongsun Chan wants to establish an alliance under the city, but in fact, he is sending this son to carry out Zhang Yi's strategy, the lord must not listen to this person's words, if Gongsun Chan really has a plan to break Liu Yu, why send this child here!"

Yuan Shao and Xu Shu's faces changed color at the same time, but Xu Shu did it more ingeniously, and was not noticed by everyone, so he took out a letter and said: "General Yuan, this is Gongsun Beiping's handwritten handwriting, and the general will know it at a glance!" ”

Gao Gan glanced at Yuan Shao, saw him nodding, stepped out, took the letter from Xu Shu's hand, and handed it to Yuan Shao. The latter, after opening a glance and reading it, put the letter down, and said, "I already know about it, but after all, Hejian is a county, and if I have any considerations, I will answer." ”

"And the boy took his leave."

After Xu Shu finished speaking, he bowed and exited the hall, and it was not until he left the hall that he felt relieved in his heart, only to find that his clothes were already soaked.

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

"What the hell should I do?" Although Yuan Shao had already rumored that Cao Cao had asked him to give up attacking Gaotang and instead support Yecheng, who would have thought that the damn Montenegrin Army would come out to obstruct it again, and when he broke through the Montenegrin Army, Yecheng would not be able to be saved? Yuan Shao didn't dare to bet, and it was at this time that Gongsun Zan sent Xu Shu to negotiate peace, which moved him, and waited for him to withdraw from the hall. Yuan Shao looked at everyone: "Gongsun Chan said in the letter, if we don't agree. Then he will not spare the lives of his soldiers again, after breaking through the river. You will come to Yecheng and fight me to the death! ”

"The lord must not be deceived by Gongsun Zhan!" Tian Feng dissuaded.

"Lord, Tian Feng is the way to defeat." Feng Ji said: "At this time, our army is weak, and Meng De is also blocked by the Montenegrin army, it is difficult to help Jizhou in a short time, if it drags on further, Yecheng will be forced sooner or later, since Gongsun Chan has the intention of retiring from the army, the lord can take this opportunity to lie down and taste the courage, and it is not too late to take revenge when the time is ripe!" ”

"My lord. After all, Hejian is only a county, as the saying goes: 'Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case.' If Liu Yu really can't continue to stop Gongsun Zan from transporting grain from Beiping, then it will not only be Hejian Country that will be lost, but Anping Kingdom and Zhongshan Kingdom! Guo Tu excitedly stepped out of the ranks.

"My lord."

Tian Feng scolded the two of them in his heart for being traitorous ministers, and at the same time suppressed the anger in his heart, and said: "Gongsun Chan has long been lacking in skills, how to transport grain from the plains?" Not to mention conquering Hejian in the short term, and now Meng De has turned around. Although it was blocked by the Montenegrin army, the rabble of the Montenegrin army, Meng De will break his army for a long time, and he will only wait for Meng De to arrive at that time. Gongsun Chan is self-defeating. Now the lord only needs to pass on the letter to the eldest prince, so that he will guard the river and must not go out of the city to fight the enemy. In this way, Gongsun Chan will definitely be defeated! ”

"Lord ......"

"Alright. Alright, let me be quiet for a moment! ”

Yuan Shao interrupted everyone impatiently. "Stand aside for the time being, let me think about it myself." ”

"Lord, don't cede the country between the rivers, this is the way to ruin."

Tian Feng said bluntly: "If the river is cut today, the grandson will rise and the lord will be weak." If Gongsun returns, and the lord will cede Julu County, so that it will not take day, Jizhou will be owned by Gongsun Zhan. ”

"Alarmist!"

Yuan Shao snorted, waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay, you guys stand down." "If you can exchange the land of a county in Hejian Country for other Jizhou counties controlled by Gongsun Zhan, you can still consider it.

"Feng is not alarmist, if the lord does not listen to Feng's advice, it will be too late to regret it!"

It is because I have listened to your advice that I am in today's crisis! Yuan Shao finally moved his liver fire: "Come on." Before the words fell, a guard had already hurriedly entered the hall, Yuan Shao pointed at Tian Feng angrily, and said, "Give me the ...... Will ......" He wanted to say that Tian Feng would be put in prison, but he wanted to think that the situation was unstable at this time, and he didn't dare to make a mistake easily, so he "will" and "will" for a long time, and finally said: "Knock him out of the hall for me!" ”

"Yuan Shao, if you don't listen to the advice, you will be defeated sooner or later!" Tian Feng was carried out of the hall and said at the same time.

Yuan Shao closed his eyes and pressed his anger at Tian Feng, he was in an irritable mood, he didn't even look at the civil and military forces, his face was full of gloom: "Stand down!" ”

watched them step out of the hall one by one, but Xu You stayed alone, and after everyone left, he said in a low voice: "Lord!" ”

"Didn't I tell you to step down? What are you still doing here? Yuan Shao didn't open his eyes, but he only heard the voice and immediately recognized that this person was Xu You.

Xu You flashed a hint of cunning, and said boldly: "You have a word, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"When did Ziyuan be so polite to me? But it doesn't hurt to say it! Yuan Shao thought to himself, wait for him to finish speaking, and quickly send away.

"Lord, what Tian Feng said was only harmful, not profitable, and it is inevitable that he will be alarmist."

Seeing Yuan Shao's frowning, Xu Yu said tightly: "If the lord takes the Hejian Kingdom to negotiate with Gongsun Zan and exchange it for other counties, then it will be the best policy, so that the lord will have a chance to recuperate, and sooner or later there will be a time to work hard!" ”

"Ziyuan thinks the same way?" Yuan Shao suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Xu Youdao with a confidant expression.

"Exactly."

Xu You was glad that he and Yuan Shao thought of a place, he was worried at the beginning, and he was afraid that this statement would cause death, but he understood one thing, with Yuan Shao's temperament, he would rather lose Jizhou than wait for Cao Cao, the little brother, to come to the rescue, the face can't pass, the reason for asking for help, it is forced by the account, and now that there is room for turnaround, then it will naturally not ask Cao Cao again, and it is precisely because of his friendship with Yuan Shao for many years that he deeply understands this, so he will have the courage to say it, The results proved that Yuan Shao's slightest intention when he met the envoy of Youzhou was true, since it was said to his heart, Xu You naturally would not miss this rare opportunity, and immediately spoke, saying: "If Gongsun Chan agrees to exchange for the Hejian Kingdom, if he refuses, Ziyuan is willing to live and die with the lord!" ”

"Okay, good, I know that this strategy is really feasible!" The gloom on Yuan Shao's face immediately disappeared, and he said, "I don't know who Ziyuan thinks can go to the Zan Army to discuss this matter?" ”

Looking at Yuan Shao's eager eyes, Xu You, who knew that he couldn't hide no matter what, stiffened his head and said: "Although you are not talented, I am willing to go to Zhanjun and his party." ”

"Very good!"

After the two discussed, Xu You said goodbye and left, and went straight to the Zhanjun barracks.

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

Seeing Xu You withdraw from the tent, the puzzled Gongsun Zhan looked at Liu Lan and said, "Why did Brother Xian refuse Xu You before?" ”

"What does my brother think about this?" Liu Lan did not answer, but changed the topic.

Gongsun Zan didn't want to think about it and said: "If you return to Youzhou, these places will definitely be difficult to take care of, and sooner or later they will return to Yuan Shao's hands, and exchange the uncontrollable land for the Hejian country. ”

"My brother and my brother see things the same way, but there are some things that should not be rushed."

Liu Lan looked at Gongsun Zhan, resumed his previous conversation, and said: "If the elder brother agrees directly, it will inevitably be suspicious of him, so the younger brother will make his eyes make the elder refuse, and the elder brother must know that there are not a few lords and people like Xu Yu under Yuan Shao's account, so this matter needs to be entrusted to him for a few days, as long as the elder brother is stable, then Yuan Shao will give in because he can't resist the pressure, and then he will not obediently hand over the Hejian Kingdom!" ”

"Yes, but the mastermind of this battle is a man of great wisdom, I am afraid that Yuan Shao will withstand the pressure, what should I do at that time?"

Liu Lan seemed to smile and said, "Brother, do you think Yuan Shao will still listen to him after a series of fiascos?" ”

Gongsun Zhan finally showed a smile on his face that he hadn't shown for many days, and said: "This person is not unwise, but it's a pity that he met such a clever opponent of the virtuous brother, if it wasn't for the virtuous brother to help, the battle for the brother would have been lost." ”

"Brother is polite." Liu Lan was embarrassed in his heart, the mastermind of Yuan Shao in this battle was either Tian Feng or frustrated, if he didn't meet Xu Shu, he would definitely have been defeated with Gongsun Zhan, but because of Xu Shu, although he is still only a second- or third-rate strategist now, if he hadn't seen the plan to go up the house and draw the ladder, he would not have successfully turned defeat into victory, and said with a smile: "How can my brother be compared with the wise and resourceful men under Yuan Shao, if you say that the greatest credit in this battle is Yuan Zhi and Zilong, and there are many soldiers who rush to kill in front of the enemy who are not afraid of death, if it is not for Yuan Zhi to repeatedly anticipate the enemy's opportunities, If it weren't for Zilong to relieve the siege and settle down, if it weren't for the three armies to serve, even if there were more Liu Lan, this battle would inevitably be even worse. ”

Suddenly, he looked at Gongsun Zhan meaningfully, smiled, and said: "Actually, the most important thing to thank in this battle is Yuan Shao, if it weren't for his suspicious nature, or Xu Yuanzhi's insight into the mysteries, we would not be able to escape defeat!" At this time, Liu Lan thought of the Book of Changes in his inner account.

"Yes, in fact, we have already lost, but we still have to pretend to be a winner, until the end, let this victor cut a piece of flesh out." After Gongsun Chan finished speaking, the two laughed. (To be continued.) )
