Chapter 264: Gongsun Zhan's Temptation
The princes present all knew that He Xian was actually right, that the Tiger Prison was a place of death, and whoever went would suffer. But the alliance has to send people, otherwise there is no use in setting up this alliance? Traveling? And since it is necessary to send the princes to the Tiger Prison Pass to probe the strength of Dong Thief, it is natural to send the one who is least popular with everyone. It's not Ho Xian, but who?
……
"Is General Wei really preparing to attack Tiger Prison Pass?" Back to He Xian's camp, Gongsun Zhan, Wang Kuang, and Zhang Yang were on the left and right.
"Brother Bogui thinks that I agreed to be this pioneer because I was angry?" He Xian asked Gongsun Chan with a smile on his face, without any anger, which made Gongsun Chan quite confused.
"It's not!" He Xian asked himself and replied, "This will really want to compete with Dong Thief's Xiliang Army!" Of course, you won't be stupid enough to use tens of thousands of people under your command to storm the Tiger Prison! ”
"What does the general mean?"
"Fighter!"
"Fighter?" Gongsun Zhan was puzzled, "Can the fighting general bring down the tiger prison?" ”
Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang also have the same doubts.
Guo Jiashi Shiran appeared and said: "Of course not!" But the fighting generals can invigorate the morale of the army, and let the deeds of our army fight against Dong thieves be famous all over the world! “
Gongsun Zhan's eyes lit up, and he realized that the purpose of He Xian's battle this time was not to capture the Tiger Prison Pass.
"Who is this?" Gongsun Chan looked at He Xian.
He Xian introduced: "This is Yingchuan celebrities, Guo Jia, Guo Fengxian. Now he is the general's division, the counselor of military affairs! ”
Guo Jia arched his hand and met with the three princes.
Being able to accompany him on such an occasion and express his opinions without scruples, needless to say, this Guo Jia has won the trust of General Wei. The three princes were all mixed people on the scene, and they saw it at a glance, and they returned the salute one after another to show respect.
"My lord has long seen through the true face of the Kwantung princes, and plotting with them to exterminate Dong thieves is like conspiring with a tiger. The tiger is not dead, the man is gone. However, the Dong thief can't help but crusade, so our army fights this front, sets an example for the princes, and sets an example for the people of the world! Guo Jia explained.
Gongsun Zhan, Wang Kuang, and Zhang Yang nodded in agreement when they heard this.
"The matter of cutting down Dong needs to be done slowly! This is the first battle that leads history, and we will complete it! Are you willing to fight with me? “
Hearing He Xian's declaration of war remarks, Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang suddenly felt their blood boiling, and even Gongsun Zhan, who was very deep in the city, was also in a mood.
"I'm willing to follow! Go to the soup and go to the fire, don't give up! The three of them stood up and clenched their fists and replied loudly.
"Prince! You are friendly with Yuan Shao, please allocate grain and grass, and you will be fully responsible! “
"No!" Wang Kuang agreed without hesitation.
"Tomorrow morning, I'll leave the camp and march out! Goal, Tiger Prison! ”
After arranging the military order, Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang immediately retired and went down to prepare for the mobilization before the battle. Gongsun Chan stayed behind for some reason.
"Brother Bogui, do you have anything to teach Xian?" He Xian knew that Gongsun Chan was staying, and he must have something private to talk about.
"Zhan has long wanted to ask the general for verification, but this matter has not been confirmed, Chan's food is tasteless, and he can't sleep."
Gongsun Zhan said it quite seriously, but He Xian saw that he was full of red light, full of qi and blood, and was obviously in a state of high spirits. Why can't you eat well and can't sleep? It is estimated that in Youzhou now, Liu Yu, the state pastor, can no longer suppress him and falls behind. But these words can't be spoken, since Gongsun Chan wants to pretend to be weak, He Xian can only endure to ask what is it that can make the iron-blooded and ruthless General Baima sleep.
"Please!"
"Are the young emperor and the queen mother alive?
Gongsun Zhan stared at He Xian with burning eyes, and He Xian was stunned. The Young Emperor and the Queen Mother are a secret, except for the people around He Xian, only Dong Zhuo's cronies know the truth of the matter. Gongsun Chan asked like this, obviously getting some news from somewhere. Where did he find out? Do you want to tell Gongsun Chan the truth? He Xian hesitated. But then I thought about it, if Gongsun Chan had bad intentions and told the Yuan brothers the news, wouldn't it be more useful? So, he nodded and gave Gongsun Chan a sure look.
Gongsun Chan burst out into a burst of hearty laughter, hugged his fists and said: "The general treats Chan with sincerity, and Chan will repay him with sincerity!" ”
He Xian Khan, dare to feel that this is Gongsun Zhan testing himself, whether he regards him as his own. In other words, he had already received conclusive news that the young emperor and the queen mother were not killed by Dong Zhuo. Gongsun Chan is brave and ambitious, although he is not very broad-minded, but he is very righteous. It can be seen from the fact that after he became rich, he still did not forget to pull a young classmate Liu Bei. In the later period, Gongsun Zhan's power once spanned You, Qing, Hebei, and the four states, competing with Yuan Shao. However, it is a pity that although the loyalty of the civil and military generals under the command of Gongsun Chan is very high, most of them have limited abilities. Guan Jing, Zou Dan, Yan Gang, Tian Kai, and Shan Jing are all second- and third-rate people. Zhao Yun, the only super general, has not been reused, and finally cheapened Liu Bei.
"This matter is related to the safety of the two nobles, please forgive me for the crime of not telling you!" He Xian said apologetically.
Gongsun Zhan, who had already received an affirmative answer, said with an understanding look: "The general waited for a while, and Zhan met a group of people on the way south, saying that it was the general's old man, so he came with him. ”
Gongsun Chan said, went straight out of the tent, and when he came back, he took a man and a woman with him.
"Zhongshan County Lieutenant Zhen Dao (people's daughter Zhen Yu), I have seen General Wei!"
When he saw Zhen Dao and Zhen Yu appearing, He Xian suddenly became enlightened, where did Gongsun Zan learn the news that the young emperor and the queen mother were alive. The Zhongshan caravan is an important part of the rescue plan. No matter what means Gongsun Chan had, whether it was coercion or temptation, or side knocking, in short, he got the news of the young emperor and the queen mother from Zhen's mouth, and used this to test He Xian's attitude towards him. Supporting He Xian is to support the Young Emperor and the Queen Mother, which strengthens Gongsun Zhan's willingness to form an alliance, which is also a good thing.
"That's it! The guest has been delivered, and Chan is leaving! Gongsun Chan gave up his hand and left the big tent to He Xian, Zhen Dao, and Zhen Yu.
Zhen Yu has a light veil on his face, not showing his true face, but a pair of big eyes that are looking forward to it, revealing an unusual beauty. Zhen Yu is only 12 years old this year, but she is already beginning to look slim. Seeing He Xian, Zhen Yu's eyes flashed and he seemed very happy. Zhen Yu is even happier than Guo Jia. This most beautiful man in Yingchuan had obviously married a wife last year, but the moment he saw Zhen Yu, he couldn't help but stick it up, shushing the cold and asking for warmth.
The Zhen brothers didn't seem to realize that they had leaked secrets, and they were quite happy to see He Xian. Since it didn't cause any bad effects, He Xian didn't want to pursue this matter, so he asked, "How could Brother Zhen and Zhen Xiaomei walk with Gongsun Zhan?" ”
