The forty-sixth Guo Tuyang letter to Gan Ning

The three brothers told Fu Zhu about the military situation in Bohai, and Fu Zhu also felt that Yuan Xi's analysis was very reasonable. He said, "Since you don't know, then send someone to say hello!" ”

"Who to send?" Yuan Xi asked.

"Then Guo Gong will go!" Frustrated said: "No matter who the other party is, it shouldn't kill anyone!" Their purpose is nothing more than a few, either for plundering or for alliance. ”

Yuan Tan also nodded, "I'll go talk to Guo Tu." ”

Fu Zhi nodded, at this time he also had to test how much sincerity the three brothers had, if the sincerity was insufficient, he would not wade into this troubled water.

After Yuan Tan went back, he told Guo Tu about it. Guo Tu immediately shook his head and said, "Lord, it must not be feasible at this time!" If we reconcile with your third brother, then you will have no chance to regain the position of general in the future. ”

Yuan Tan was also irritated for a while, he really wanted to listen to Guo Tu's words. But the thought of having such an enemy in Bohai County made him feel uncomfortable. His sphere of influence is not only in Qingzhou, but Bohai County is actually his sphere of influence. Bohai County was Yuan Shao's territory at the beginning, and after Yuan Shao controlled Jizhou, he still left a lot of forces in Bohai, and these people all supported him Yuan Tan.

So Yuan Tan said to Guo Tu: "You must go to Yangxin to have a look, no matter what, it is my territory." If I lose the battle with Yuan Shang, I will withdraw there! I don't want to wait until I get to the Bohai Sea, where it's a mess and not a single soldier can be recruited. ”

When Guo Tu heard it, it seemed to make sense! If you withdraw to Qingzhou and attack Yecheng, it will be too far away, far less convenient than coming in Nanpi. Thinking of this, Guo Tu immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely find out who the enemy is!" ”

"No!" Yuan Tan said: "Fu Gong said that they may want to form an alliance with us, you must test their intentions, if they form an alliance with us, then ask them what they want to do?" ”

Although Guo Tu felt a little unbelievable, he still nodded.

Guo Tu traveled in a hurry for a few days, and finally came to the vicinity of Yangxin. But before he arrived at Yangxin City, he was surrounded by people.

"Who?" One of Gan Ning's tun craftsmen asked.

Guo Tu got down from the carriage, straightened his clothes, and then said respectfully: "Guo Tu, under the command of the general of the chariot, ask to see the general of the Ru family." ”

The general thought for a moment, then asked a soldier to ride back to report the news first, and then said to Guo Tu: "Mr. will go to the front pavilion with me first and wait." ”

Guo Tu breathed a sigh of relief, he was very glad that he had just come up with the scribe's set, it seems that the celebrity is also very useful to these people! And listening to this person's accent, it seems that he is really from Huainan Jiangdong, is it really Zhang Yi?

Guo Tu followed these soldiers to the long pavilion in a car and waited. These pavilions are built for travelers, and basically there will be one every five miles and ten miles, so that people can rest.

But when Guo Tu arrived at the long pavilion, he found that there were already hundreds of people resting here. These draggers, big bags and small bags, are no different from relocation, and most of the soldiers of Cao's army are escorting them.

Where are these people going to be sent? What did Zhang Yi do when he plundered so many people? Wouldn't it be better if he plundered directly from Cao Cao?

After waiting for half an hour, the soldier rode back and whispered a few words in the general's ear. The general said, "My general is already waiting for Mr., please come with me." ”

Guo Tu immediately got into the carriage again and went on the road with Tun. I met a lot of people along the way, all of whom were migrated to Yangxin just like Changtingzhong.

Guo Tu arrived in Yangxin, and roughly calculated, there were at least a thousand people he met along the way. And when I entered Yangxin, I met more people!

General Tun took Guo Tu to the county office, and someone took Guo Tu in. Guo Tu entered the lobby and saw a big man sitting on the main seat.

Guo Tu immediately said: "Guo Tu under the command of General Che Cai, I have seen General Zhendong under General Zhendong!" ”

Sitting on the main seat was Gan Ning, and as soon as he heard Guo Tu's words, he knew that he had guessed that he was from Yangzhou. He was not in a hurry, because Zhang Yi had already given a plan, and he said in a good time: "What is Mr. Guo doing when he comes to my Yangxin?" ”

Guo Tu didn't expect Gan Ning to be so shameless, he said with reason: "The general's words are wrong!" Yangxin is the land of Jizhou, owned by my Yuan family! ”

"The Yuan clan will disappear soon after, isn't this my territory?" Gan Ning still said eloquently.

Guo Tu knew that the other party was sarcastic about himself, but he still couldn't help but ask, "What does the general mean?" ”

Gan Ning said: "Yuan Benchu gathered the strength of the four states and was not Cao Cao's opponent, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang's brothers lacked talent, not enough virtue, did not know unity, but infighting. Sooner or later, these four states will be owned by Cao Cao, is there anything wrong with me coming in advance to take some? ”

Guo Tu said: "The general's words are wrong! Now that the Yuan clan is united, and there is Fu Gong to preside over the overall situation, he will definitely defeat Cao Cao. ”

"Really? Then did you listen to Yuan Tan or Yuan Shang? Gan Ning asked with a sneer.

Guo Tuqiang said eloquently: "This is the Yuan family's matter. ”

"In that case, I won't ask." Gan Ning said: "Then Mr. Guo, what are you doing here?" ”

Guo Tu said: "I want to ask the general to retire. ”

Gan Ning laughed: "Mr. Guo is really whimsical! I dispatched thousands of soldiers and horses, and if you ask me to withdraw the army, I will withdraw the army? ”

Guo Tu asked, "What does the general want to do?" ”

Gan Ning said: "So be it! I'll give you a face, let the Yuan family send me 10,000 war horses, and I'll withdraw my troops. ”

Guo Tu was angry in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it, "General, this is difficult for a strong man!" I am short of war horses, how can I give the general a surplus. ”

When Gan Ning heard this, he was immediately unhappy, he didn't even bother to sit on his knees, and sat directly on the ground, with both thighs propped up, "Mr. Guo doesn't agree, I can't retreat this soldier." ”

Guo Tu thought for a moment and said, "General, how about we make a deal?" ”

"What deal?" Gan Ning asked lazy sheep.

Guo Tu said: "If you want a war horse, you can exchange it for weapons, how about it?" ”

"Weapons?" Gan Ning thought for a while and asked, "How do you change the law?" ”

Guo Tu said: "One war horse, one hundred ring-headed knives. ”

Gan Ning sneered: "A hundred is too much!" Do more than 30 handfuls! ”

Of course, Guo Tu couldn't agree, how could a war horse cost 50,000 yuan, the ring head knife was only 800 yuan at most, and 30 was the price of cabbage. "Ninety!"

"Thirty-five!"

……

"Sixty!"

"Forty-five!"

"Fifty!"

"Deal!"
