Accompanying Guo Tu into the back house, Tian Feng looked at the furnishings in the house: "It's quite elegant here, I'm still worried that Guo Gong will be treated slowly when he comes to Beihai." ”

"It's good to come to Beihai and be taken care of." Guo Tu hurriedly replied: "I didn't expect Childe to have the opportunity to treat me like this." ”

"What does Guo Gong think Gongzi will do?" Tian Feng asked.

It was just a polite remark, but when he asked him like this, Guo Tu didn't know how to respond.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Guo Gong came to Beihai this time, what is the matter?" Walking to the bookshelf in the room, Tian Feng took out a book and asked casually while flipping through it.

"I'm here to see Zirong Gongzi." Guo Tu said: "Although the Yuan Cao family has been fighting each other for the past two years, the eldest son is very concerned about him. ”

"In my impression, there is not much connection between my son-in-law and the eldest son." Tian Feng turned to look at Guo Tu and said, "If I remember correctly, when Gongzi went to Hebei in the past, the third prince was receiving him. ”

"Although the third son is a reception, the eldest son is the eldest son in the family after all, how can he treat his brother-in-law slowly?" Guo Tu hurriedly said: "It's just that the eldest son has had too many things in the past, so he didn't personally receive the son of Zirong." ”

"It doesn't make sense for you and me to say this here." Tian Feng said with a smile: "Guo Gong just needs to say Beihai's intentions. ”

"I still want to see Zirong Gongzi first......" Guo Tu said hesitantly.

He wanted to say that there were many things that only Cao Shuo could decide, but he was worried that Tian Feng would be unhappy when he heard it, after all, Tian Feng was in Hebei at the beginning, and they didn't stumble.

"In the battle of Cangting, Gongzi won half of Qingzhou." Tian Feng said: "Recently, he has been so busy that he doesn't even have time to sleep, and if Guo Gong wants to see him, I'm afraid he will have to wait for a long time." ”

As soon as Tian Feng said this, Guo Tu's face suddenly became very ugly.

When he came to Beihai, what he was most worried about was not seeing Cao Shuo.

Without Cao Shuo's permission, it would be impossible for him to meet Yuan Shao in person, let alone get a promise from Yuan Shao to let Yuan Tan inherit Hebei.

Guo Tu's face became bad, but Tian Feng pretended not to see anything, and said with a smile: "Guo Gong, it's not too early, the banquet should have been prepared, and I invite Guo Gong to go to the banquet with me." ”

first responded, and then Guo Tu suddenly asked: "Tian Gong, to tell you the truth, you really have no love for Hebei at all?" ”

With a faint smile on his face, Tian Feng asked rhetorically: "Does Hebei have any affection for me?" ”

Tian Feng was almost killed at the beginning, and these people played a key role in it.

However, Guo Tu played a relatively small role.

In front of Tian Feng, he dared to say a few words.

"At the beginning, it was Feng Ji, Trial and others who murdered Tian Gong." Guo Tu said: "I didn't say a bad word about Tian Gong at that time. ”

"It's all gone." Tian Feng waved his hand and said generously: "I haven't taken it to heart for a long time, and Guo Gong shouldn't care too much." ”

Although Tian Feng didn't take it to heart, Guo Tu didn't dare to believe it easily.

After all, Tian Feng really almost died in Hebei......

"Let's go to the banquet first, drink and dance, and talk about big things." Tian Feng gestured to Guo Tubi: "Guo Gong, please." ”

"I'm bothering Tian Gong." Guo Tu thanked him.

Tian Feng entertained Guo Tu, of course, he would not say anything particularly critical to him.

At the same time, Fu Zhu, who was in Donglai, was also holding a banquet.

Sitting opposite Fu Zhu was a burly and rough man.

The clothes on the man's body were greasy, and his face and beard had not been trimmed for a long time, making him look very messy.

He is the Guo Zu who was asked to invite him before.

Grabbing a leg of mutton in front of him, Guo Zu took a bite hard.

Chewing on the mutton, he muttered, "The meat on land is still delicious, and it is really annoying to eat fresh things from the sea all day long." ”

"The general can eat it every day if he likes it." Fu Zhi smiled indifferently, raised his wine glass and said, "I'll give the general a glass first." ”

"Eat every day?" After a drink with Fu Zhu, Guo Zu said: "I can't be on the shore every day, there are still two or three thousand brothers waiting for me to feed......

"The general has a great responsibility, and Childe also knows it." He smiled and said, "Could it be that the general really plans to hide on the sea for the rest of his life, so that your brothers will die of old age together?" ”

"So what?" Guo Zu said: "We are not allowed to live on the land, and we are not allowed to go to the sea to beg for food? ”

"In the past, you were not allowed to live on land, but it is different later." Fu Zhu said: "I invited the general over today just to discuss something with the general. ”

"Let me surrender to Cao Zirong?" Guo Zu squinted his eyes and asked, "What's in it for me?" ”

"Power, money, women." Without thinking about it, he said: "The general is in the sea, and he is always just a pirate. Not only do the people hate you, but the soldiers and horses of all over the country will crusade against you and destroy you. Even if you get away with it now, you will still be caught one day. The general should know what methods will be used to deal with pirates everywhere when they are caught. ”

"Could it be that the frustrated prince is threatening me?" Guo Zu asked, holding his forehead.

"I'm kind enough to discuss with the general, how can I be a threat to the general?" "What do men live for? Not for power, money, and women? Childe is willing to give all three things to the general, and it is difficult for the general to want to drift on the sea. ”

"If I surrender, what can I do for my son?" Guo Zu asked.

"Navy." Fu Zhu said: "Childe wants the navy. ”

"Navy?" Guo Zu asked: "The Central Plains expedition, what does Gongzi want the navy to do?" ”

"Does the general think that Childe's mind is only in the Central Plains?" Fu Zhu smiled indifferently: "Gongzi once said that what really dominates the world is not the fight on land, but the voyage on the sea. A lot of places we haven't been to are just as rich and have the same things we need. The world is in turmoil, reunification is just the beginning, the real conquest is still to come, and what Gongzi wants is conquest. ”

"I'm just a rough person, I don't understand what Fu Gong said." Guo Zu didn't quite understand the meaning of frustration.

"Have you heard that the Central Plains is in chaos, and the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Qiang people are in turmoil." Fu Zhu said: "The Yi people will not die for a day, and the heart of China will not die, what the prince wants is to train a navy that can sail far, and wait until the Central Plains is unified, and go deep into the hinterland of the Yi people to uproot them." Conquer and fear, so that they will not dare to covet the Central Plains for thousands of years or 10,000 years. ”

"So, I will have a lot of power?" Guo Zu asked suspiciously.

"Of course." Fu Zhu said: "On that day, the general gave an order, and ten thousand ships were sent together, who else in the world is more majestic than the general?" ”
