If Fang Li's plan wants to succeed, it must be seen by the envoy of Zhao State, otherwise he can only talk to himself.

After thinking about it, Fang Li decided to write a letter to Gongsun Yanxiu, who had just returned to Handan, and asked him to find a candidate to facilitate this plan. This person must have a certain status in the Zhao State, and he can't be too careful and shrewd.

Gongsun Yan has been in the Zhao State for a long time, and he enjoys the high-ranking officials, Fang Li is not sure whether he is more inclined to the Tang State or the Zhao State at the moment.

After all, time has passed, and the current Tang Kingdom is no longer the original Yu State, and the current Gongsun Yan is not the former Gongsun Yan. Under Zhao Yong's co-optation and reuse, God knows if Gongsun Yan is happy to think about Tang?

Although Gongsun Yan remained in the name of Zhao to facilitate the coordination of joint matters between Tang and Zhao and strengthen communication between the two countries, it would destroy the alliance without saying goodbye. But if Gongsun Yan is determined to return to Tang, he won't find a chance to escape if he doesn't believe it?

A few days ago, Gongsun Yan had just come to Yongcheng on behalf of Zhao Guo and conveyed Zhao Yong's conditions for sending troops. Although Fang Li asked Gongsun Yan to go back and try to stabilize Zhao Yong, if Gongsun Yan didn't want to leave, Fang Li would definitely send another envoy to Handan to keep Gongsun Yan in the Tang Kingdom, but Gongsun Yan did not show any intention of staying.

Examples of never returning abound in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, after all, people go to high places and water flows to low places, if Gongsun Yan really intends to jump to Zhao State, Fang Li also understands this.

It just so happened that this plan was an opportunity, Fang Li planned to take the opportunity to test whether Gongsun Yan's heart was still loyal to the Tang Kingdom?

If the plan can be successful, it means that Gongsun Yan is still concerned about the Tang Kingdom, otherwise, Gongsun Yan already belongs to Zhao.

"Gongsun rhinoceros, Gongsun rhinoceros, just use this plan to check whether there is still a relationship between you and me?"

Fang Li took the dragon and snake, and soon sent a letter to Gongsun Yanxiu, asking him to find a weighty but careless person in Zhao State to come to Tang State to escort grain and grass, and promote the plan of "fake burning grain and grass".

Cao Cao and Zhou Yu were extremely opposed to this move, believing that Gongsun Yan had been in Zhao for a long time, and he was awarded the position of a doctor, and his heart was likely to have fallen to Zhao State, and if he knew about the plan, there was a chance that it would be ruined.

But Fang Li insisted on his opinion, thinking that if he didn't pay the price, he couldn't guess Gongsun Yan's psychology.

If you can use this plan to recognize Gongsun Yan's current attitude, even if it is lost, it will be worth it, if Gongsun Yan still cares about Tang Guo, then he will continue to reuse it in the future, and there is no doubt about employing people.

If Gongsun Yan falls to Zhao State, then draw a clear line and have nothing to do with it.

After listening to Fang Li's words, Cao Cao and Zhou Yu no longer persuaded them, but they were a little regretful, "It's a pity to use a very good plan to test Gongsun Yan's loyalty!" ”

Fang Li smiled: "It's okay, the widow has thought of another plan, maybe he can take Pang Juan's life and hit the Wei army hard." ”

Cao Cao and Zhou Yu were both in good spirits when they heard this: "Oh...... What's the plan? ”

Fang Li showed a mysterious smile: "The secret of heaven must not be leaked, first send the letter to Handan, and see if Gongsun Yan can help us trick Zhao Yong into sending troops to attack Zhao?" If Gongsun Yan has completely fallen to Zhao State, we Datang can only rely on ourselves! ”

It was only a distance of more than 500 miles from Yongcheng in the Tang Kingdom to Handan in the Zhao Kingdom, and the envoy quickly whipped the horse, and it took a day and a half to deliver the letter to Gongsun Yan's hands.

"Fang Bofu is testing me and asking me to accept the nomination!"

Gongsun Yan gasped after reading it, pinching the white paper he saw for the first time, his heart fluctuated, like sitting on pins and needles.

"This thing is really good, soft and delicate, the handwriting is clear, easy to carry, and it is much more advanced than bamboo slips!"

Gongsun Yan couldn't help but ponder the content of the letter again and again, and he was also amazed and praised the material of the letter.

In fact, in Gongsun Yan's heart, he really has the idea of stepping on two boats, Zhao Yong treats him well, Zhao is also one of the five powerful countries in the world, and Gongsun Yan really has the intention of staying in Zhao State.

But thinking that there were Lin Xiangru above, Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, and Zuo Shi Touching the Dragon, Gongsun Yan was a little hesitant.

In Gongsun Yan's heart, he wants to be the minister of a country, so that he can display his ambitions and ideals, there is Lin Xiangru and Zhao Sheng, Gongsun Yan feels that Zhao Xiang's position is a little out of reach for him.

This made Gongsun Yan miss Tang Guo a little.

In just half a year, Fang Li merged the three kingdoms of Yu, Yu, and Shen into one country, and established a quasi-powerful country with a population of 2.5 million and 110,000 across both sides of the Yellow River.

Moreover, the three-province and six-ministry system introduced by Fang Li was also refreshing, and the princes of various countries were full of praise, and many countries effectively imitated the meaning of reform, which also made Gongsun Yan see the vitality of the Tang State and made him full of expectations for this newly rising country.

It's just that the geographical location of the Tang State is not good, and it is sandwiched between Jin, Wei, Zhao, and Qin, and Gongsun Yan is not sure how long the Tang State will survive, so he is not in a hurry to return to the Tang Dynasty, but continues to wear the official seals of the two countries and step on two boats.

But this time, Fang Li forced Gongsun Yan to make a choice in his letter, if the plan was not successful, Tang Guo would definitely not treat Gongsun Yan as his own again.

If he helps Fang Li to achieve his plan, then in the future, the rumors will leak out, and Zhao Yong will definitely not be able to tolerate himself.

"Do you choose Tang or Zhao?"

Gongsun Yan was in a dilemma, wavering, and sat in front of the bookcase for most of the night, until Dongfang wanted to know, and then made up his mind to help Tang Guo with all his might.

"The plan to annex Yu Yu and go south to destroy Shen was planned by me for Fang Li, and my father-in-law Sun Yan can be regarded as a founding meritorious service. As long as I help Fang Li achieve his plan again this time and deceive Zhao Yong to send troops, it can be regarded as another contribution to the Tang State. After the siege of Jin and Wei was relieved, I looked for an opportunity to leave Zhao and return to Tang to take up my post. ”

Gongsun Yan made up his mind, took a nap in bed with clothes, and immediately rushed to the palace of King Zhao to participate in the morning dynasty after dawn.

Above the main hall, Zhao Yong sits high in the middle, and Lin Xiangru, Lian Po and other civil and military are separated from each other.

After the civil officials had finished reporting a few political affairs, General Li Mu came out with a wat board in his hand and reported: "My lord, the Wei general Pang Juan's attack on Tang has not progressed for a long time, and the Han general is attacking Daliang, and the Wei State is empty, and the minister thinks that he should seize the opportunity to attack Wei County, Guantao and other places in Wei State, expand his territory, and attack Wei State." ”

Zhao Yong glanced at Gongsun Yan, who was solemn, and stroked his beard and said: "The opportunity is really good, but first, my Great Zhao and Wei State do not have too many contradictions, if they fall into the well at this time, they will inevitably become mortal enemies with Wei State in the future."

Second, we dispatched 200,000 soldiers and horses to attack Jin last year, spending money and food, but we didn't get anything, but instead made a wedding dress for Fang Li, so that he could establish a powerful Tang State, which may become a hidden danger in the future.

This time the Wei and Jin Dynasty jointly attacked, my Da Zhao should be a wall-watcher, sit on the benefit of the fisherman, attack the Tang Dynasty at this time, wouldn't it be for Fang to relieve the siege?

A few days ago, the widow sent Mr. Gongsun and Zhao Qi to Yongcheng to meet Fang Li, asking for 500,000 stone grain and 100,000 pieces of white paper as a reward for sending troops. This party is noncommittal, neither promising nor refusing, it is really cunning and tight.

Therefore, the widow did not plan to send troops, and continued to watch from the sidelines, and make decisions according to the situation! ”

Lin Xiangru and Zhao Sheng all supported Zhao Yong's opinion: "The lord is reasonable, the battle between Tang and Wei will definitely last for a while, and my Da Zhao doesn't have to rush to send troops, so it's good to let the monarchs and ministers of Tang State suffer some hardships!" ”

Gongsun Yan coughed and said, "Yan just received a letter from Duke Tang last night, and asked Yan to report to Duke Zhao that 500,000 stone grain has been prepared, and he can send someone to escort him to Handan at any time." Please ask Zhao Gong to send an envoy to the acceptance to show the gratitude of the Tang State, and in the future, he is willing to work with Zhao to share glory and disgrace. ”

"Oh...... Did Fang Li really agree? Zhao Yong showed a look of surprise.

Gongsun Yan said: "Tang Gong did say so in his letter, how dare Yan believe it!" The minister thought that Zuo Shi was highly respected, so he could go to the Tang State to receive food, and the Tang State would definitely not be short of two catties and shoddy. ”

Zuo Shi Touchlong has been idle in Handan for many years, and at this moment, after listening to Gongsun Yan's recommendation, he immediately made a list: "The old minister is willing to go to the Tang Kingdom and escort 500,000 stones of grain back to Handan." ”

"Okay, then let's have Lao Aiqing go!"

Zhao Yong immediately agreed, handed over 5,000 soldiers and horses to Touchlong, and left Handan with Gongsun Yan to go to Tang to receive grain.

As long as 500,000 stone of grain arrived in Handan, Zhao would definitely send troops to attack Yecheng and besiege Wei to save Tang.
