Tian Jing arrived at Yuan Shao's mansion, and Yuan Shao asked his eldest son Yuan Tan to greet him personally at the door. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 When he arrived in the hall and sat down, Tian Jing found that in addition to Yuan Shao and his three sons, there were also judges, Feng Ji, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou as companions.

Tian Jingxin said that the relatives of many of Yuan Shao's generals can be seen from this point to the closeness.

Tian Jing entered the hall, greeted Yuan Shao, and then asked people to present gifts. The ones brought were some specialties of Chang'an and Luoyang, although they were not valuable, but they made Yuan Shao feel very happy.

When Tian Jing arrived, Yuan Shao ordered someone to hold a banquet. Yuan Shao sat in the main seat, and Tian Jing sat in the first position on the left.

Yuan Shao was born in a prestigious family, and after being a prince for many generations, he was very particular about eating. At this time, formal occasions pay attention to the division of meals, one per person. It's not like when I was in Li Dao's mansion, where everyone sat around and feasted together.

Jizhou is rich in products, and the dishes that come up are also varied, and there are many ways to make them. It was the first time that Tian Jing had eaten such a sumptuous dish in the Three Kingdoms era, even if he offered the emperor's banquet at that time, it was far less than that.

However, no matter how good the dishes were, everyone didn't eat much, because Tian Jing had something important to discuss with Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao was afraid that he also wanted to know the situation inside the imperial court center from Tian Jing's mouth.

This chatted and talked about the rebellion of Yuan Shu in Huainan. Yuan Shao hurriedly said, "Although our Yuan Shu is all from the Yuan family, it is not one. Yuan Shu is rebellious, and everyone in the world can get it and punish him. I, Yuan Shao, as the patriarch of the Yuan clan, have already discussed with the elders that I will go out of the family tree by Yuan Shu. At the same time, he will also send troops to the south to fight against Yuan Shu with the imperial court's soldiers and horses. ”

Tian Jing applauded after hearing this, and toasted Yuan Shao, "Yuan Gong is really a pillar of the country, loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and righteous to destroy relatives, Tian admires it very much." Yuan Gong is dedicated to justice, and we are an example. Now that the imperial court is employing people, the saint is also very fond of Yuan Gong, and wants to use Yuan Gong as a hussar general, enter the court auxiliary government, and one day replace Cao Cao and become the head of the world's hundred officials. I don't know what Duke Yuan meant to refuse the kindness of the saints? ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he said, "It's not that I don't want to enter the court as an official assistant to the saint, but because after Cao Cao became eunuch, he relied on speculation to achieve today's status, and I really don't want to be in the company of such a villain?" I think that when Cao Cao was broken by Lu Bu in Puyang, he had no territory and no military rations, and he almost sent his wife and children to Jizhou. If I hadn't given him food, grass and military supplies, Cao Cao would have been defeated a long time ago. How do you know that this Cao Apu is ungrateful, and after defeating Lu Bu, he became an enemy of my Jizhou. Now that the Cao thief has confused the Son of Heaven and stole important positions, how can I be under the ears of the Cao thief? ”

Tian Jing was secretly happy when he heard this, pretending not to know, and asked, "It turns out that there are such things, then this Cao Cao is too unbearable." ”

The trial next to him, Feng Ji has added fuel and vinegar to the story, in short, Cao Cao said how much villain and how villainous he is, how treacherous and treacherous.

After hearing this, Tian Jing felt as if he had just seen Cao Cao, and he made a lot of remorse, and then said to Yuan Shao, "I can't hide it, I was squeezed out by Cao Cao everywhere in the court. Whether it is military resources, food and grass, or the gains from the victory, the benefits have been given to Cao Cao, I originally thought that Cao Cao welcomed the saint and returned to Luoyang, after all, he was the one who made the first contribution, and he didn't care. But listening to what you say, I think Cao Cao is in the center of the center is probably not the blessing of the imperial court? ”

Tian Jing paused and said, "Tian has a reluctant request, and I hope that Yuan Gong will enter the center as soon as possible, take important positions, unite hundreds of officials, and then clear Cao Cao, a traitor, from the court?" ”

Yuan Shao was secretly happy when he heard it, but he pretended to shirk it, "What General Tian said, why don't you want Yuan." It's just that the reason why Cao Cao is jealous of me is not because I have the land of three states and 200,000 armor soldiers. If I had entered Luo alone, wouldn't it have been like Huangfu Song back then, and I would only have to sit in the imperial court. If I want to get rid of the Cao thief, I should mention the elite of the three states and go south to the Yellow River, so as to deter this thief, and at the same time protect the safety of the saint and the hundred officials. It's just that I still have my old enemy behind me, Gongsun Zhan, who is always feeding, and I don't dare to act rashly for a moment? ”

Tian Jing hurriedly said, "Yuan Gong's words are wrong, back then, Huangfu Song was disbanded and went to Chang'an alone to be controlled by Dong Zhuo. Now Yuan Gongcheng has the strength of 200,000 horses in the land of Sanzhou outside, so if Yuan Gong enters the court, he will definitely be safe and sound. Thinking that Cao Cao didn't dare to risk the disapproval of the world and harm Yuan Gong. As for Gongsun Zhan, he has long lost his fighting spirit, only the ability to defend, and has no offensive power. The demise of Youzhou is a matter of time, how can Yuan Gong give up the big and take the small? ”

Yuan Shao didn't answer Tian Jing's words, and asked rhetorically, "I don't know how the Taiwei Yang Biao, the general of the chariot and cavalry, Dong Cheng and the others are in the court?" ”

Tian Jingxin said that this old fox was going to trick me, and he simply didn't hide it, "Don't hide it from Yuan Gong, the wife under me is the daughter of Taiwei Yang Biao, and we have the love of Weng and son-in-law." Dong Cheng, the general of the chariot cavalry, is not only a prince of the emperor, but also a loyal man of the Han Dynasty, and has always been very close to Captain Yang. These people are all dissatisfied with Cao Cao, if Yuan Gong enters the court, they can all be used as help, and when the time comes, everyone will take Yuan Gong as the leader. ”

Yuan Shao was secretly happy when he heard this, and he understood the power struggle within the imperial court, and Tian Jing obviously showed an attitude of willingness to support him. Yuan Shao smiled, "How can Yuan Mou and De make the princes support?" However, since it is for the well-being of the Han, then Yuan must be duty-bound. After that, he raised a glass with Tian Jing, and everyone drank together.

Tian Jing felt that no matter what, today's goal had been achieved. In disguise, he struck while the iron was hot, and asked, "I wonder when Yuan Gong will be able to leave for Luoyang?" ”

Yuan Shao smiled when he heard this, "This matter is not in a hurry." The so-called plan and then act. And if I were to be subordinated to the thief, I wouldn't go. Tomorrow, I will let people inform Kong Rong and ask him to go back to his life, and if Cao Cao gives up the position of general, I will enter the court immediately. If Cao Cao is unwilling, then I will not be able to lead my troops south to protect the saint in person. ”

Tian Jing was a little disappointed when he heard this, and said in his heart that Yuan Shao was really a person who only cared about selfish interests, but it was not easy to refute.

At this time, the judge next to him spoke again, "My lord, I think that whether the lord enters the court or leads the troops south, the problem of Youzhou Gongsun Zan must be solved quickly." The so-called lying next to the couch does not allow others to sleep peacefully, Gongsun Chan will be a confidant in Youzhou sooner or later. ”

Yuan Shao heard it and said, "What Zhengnan said is reasonable, then tomorrow I will convene everyone to discuss the matter, and send troops to Youzhou within three months, this time we must completely solve the problem of Gongsun Zhan." ”

When Tian Jing heard this, he was taken aback, and secretly said in his heart that it was not good. He originally hoped to persuade Yuan Shao to go south to become an enemy of Cao Cao, on the one hand, he also had one more powerful person in the court to hinder Cao Cao, and on the other hand, he also hoped that Yuan Shao would give up the offensive against Youzhou. It can also be regarded as a reward for Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Xu and others. I never thought that this time it would stimulate Yuan Shao to speed up and invade Youzhou.

Tian Jing hurriedly said, "Yuan Gong can't." Now that there is a crisis, Yuan Shu is called the emperor, and the princes of the world have risen up to ask for it. At this time, Yuan Gong was raising the banner of anti-Yuan Shu to gather the hope of the world. When the time comes, as soon as Yuan Shu is destroyed, it is logical for Yuan Gong to enter the dynasty and serve as a general. If he sent troops to attack Youzhou at this time, he would not only miss the opportunity, but also make the people of the world think that Yuan Gong only cared about his own selfish interests and started a war. If Gongsun Zhan declares that he is against Yuan Shu, Jizhou will be morally honest at that time. ”

Yuan Shao hesitated a little after hearing this. Feng Ji next to him spoke, "I heard that General Zhengbei used to be a general under Gongsun Zhan's tent before entering the dynasty. The general has repeatedly prevented my lord from attacking Youzhou, I don't know ......" Feng Ji's words were not finished, but the meaning was obvious, that is, whether you were doing it for selfishness.

Tian Jingxin said that this Feng Ji was really hateful, and said angrily, "Although it is true that Tian is from Youzhou, it is true that he is from the public heart to discuss with Yuan Gong here, and it is also for the sake of Yuan Gong. Mr. Feng spends time with the heart of a villain, so Tian has nothing to say. ”

At this time, the judge hurriedly came out to play a round, "General Tian misunderstood, Feng Ji definitely didn't mean that." But what I just said just now made me think of another idea. Jizhou and Youzhou have been fighting for many years, and many generals on both sides have died in the hands of each other, which has already become an endless situation, and there was no possibility of peace talks. But now that General Tian is here, it's just an opportunity. If General Tian can mediate between them, the two sides sign a contract, each retreat 50 miles, and not invade each other, and all problems can be easily solved. I don't know what General Tian thinks? ”

When Tian Jing heard this, he said in his heart, it seems that this is the best way at present, and it will save Youzhou from the pain of being destroyed. It's just that it's hard to say whether Gongsun Chan can be convinced. Tian Jing said, "Mr. Shen's discussion is a good way to solve the current problem. It's just that I don't know if Yuan Gong has the intention of making peace, if he is interested, then Tian is willing to be a lobbyist. It's just that whether Gongsun Chan can accept it or not is not something I can control. ”

The judge hurriedly said, "Thank you so much General Tian." However, this matter still has to be decided by Yuan Gong. ”

Yuan Shao thought for a while and said, "Gongsun Zhan is stubborn and self-serving, and he has never liked to listen to people's advice, and it is indeed difficult to negotiate peace. However, this is a crucial matter, and you should try it if it doesn't work. If General Tian is willing to help, he has at least half a chance of success. ”

At this time, the opinions were unified, and everyone discussed the details of the peace talks. Yuan Shao seems to be trying to show his closeness to Tian Jing and not shy away from discussing Jizhou's interests. After all, Tian Jing is an outsider, and it is not easy for him to speak and participate in the discussion. After this back and forth, the dinner party ended very late.

Early the next morning, Yuan Shao asked Tian Jing to come over again and handed over the drafted contract with Gongsun Zan to Tian Jing. Yuan Shao said to Tian Jing, "This time I have to work hard to conquer the northern generals, in order to show sincerity, and for someone to be able to control the generals in the front, I asked Mr. Judge to rush to the front line first." If Gongsun Chan agrees to the contract, you just have to ask someone to go to the camp with a high jaw and hand over the contract for review. ”

Tian Jing bowed his hand to Yuan Shao, "Tian will make every effort to promote the truce between Jizhou and Youzhou, and I will lead my troops to the north early tomorrow morning."
