On the evening of the same day, the five little brothers gathered in the restaurant, except for the little six Lu Qilin, who is now protecting Lu Wen in Xuzhou, the six little ones of the year have all arrived. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Speaking of the experience of the past two years, everyone has a feeling in their hearts. After Gongsun Xu and Tian Jing left, he fully accepted the military power of Baima Yicong, and as Gongsun Zhan's health became worse and worse, he began to stay away from political affairs, and Gongsun Xu's role as the heir began to take on more and more responsibilities. In particular, several of Gongsun Zhan's sworn brothers, Liu Weitai, Li Yizi, and Le Hedang, were very supportive of Gongsun Zhan. However, it is not so easy for Gongsun Xu to ascend the throne, his uncle Gongsun Fan is now the actual controller of Jixian County, if Gongsun Chan dies suddenly, I am afraid that Youzhou will immediately be divided.

Liu Yong's role is more like Gongsun Xu's think tank, although he is not good at scheming, but on the one hand, he is loyal, and on the other hand, he is indeed very capable of logistics and material allocation. However, Liu Yarrow alone is not enough, Gongsun has selected many generals as confidants and generals among the White Horse Yicong in the past two years. It is also preparing for the future accession.

This time Tian Jing, Li Kang, and Le Ping came back, and Gongsun Xu was very happy. He felt that as long as he opened his mouth, the three of them would definitely join him, and his strength would definitely rise to a higher level at that time.

But after chatting, I found that it was not like that, Tian Jing was really much stronger than himself, from Liu Bei's men and horses and cavalry to support Tao Qian, to now becoming a prince, in charge of nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, it only took two years. Tian Jing is now the Marquis of Guannei, the general of the expedition to the north, and his official title and position are not under Gongsun Zhan. And seeing Li Dang and Leping's admiration and admiration for Tian Jing, Gongsun Xu felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Gongsun continued to say that this Tian Jing is not of the same mind as himself after all, so it is better to make plans early and bring his two good brothers back. said to Li Kang and Leping, "Fourth brother, fifth brother, you don't know what you're not doing in the past two years, and the third and fourth uncles are worried about what they will become." It's good to come back this time, don't leave when you come back this time, and save your mother and relatives from worrying. When the time comes, I will arrange for you to be two cavalry captains among the White Horse Righteous Servants, and follow me to ensure that you will eat and drink spicy food, and you will have no worries about food and clothing. ”

Gongsun Xu's seemingly understated sentence is actually quite scheming. Tian Jing couldn't hear what he meant to poach, but he didn't say a word. After all, Li Kang and Leping are also the brothers of Gongsun Xu, and the four of them knew each other earlier, and their homes are in Youzhou. So Tian Jing also wanted to hear the real thoughts of the two of them.

Leping heard the meaning of Gongsun Xu's words, but he didn't say a word. Li Dang was happy today, but he let go of drinking as soon as he came in, and now he drank a little too much, and when he heard that Gongsun continued to want to keep them, he didn't want to think about it, so he said, "Big brother, haha." I tell you, if I had been before, I would have followed you before and after the saddle, who made us brothers, and I also know my skills, and I don't have any great ambitions. But I don't know if I don't go out, and when I go out, I'm very obedient, and there are opportunities everywhere outside. We followed Brother Jing from no soldiers and no food, to now we have our own base in Hedong, with tens of thousands of horses, and we can be regarded as a prince. It's good to stay in Youzhou, but the country was fought by our father's generation, so it's not interesting, it's better to go out and wander to show that you have real skills. ”

It's okay if Li Dang didn't say anything, but as soon as he finished speaking, Gongsun Xu's face couldn't be hung up. said angrily, "Fourth, what are you talking about, you mean that I have no ability to rely on my father's Yu Yin." Okay, come on, come on, I'm going to see what you've learned when you go out. ”

Tian Jing and Liu Yong saw that the situation was not good, and immediately persuaded each other, saying, "Everyone is happy today, just drink, don't talk about anything else." ”

How do you know that Li Dang is Zhenhe drank too much today, and he actually came to screw up, and he had to accept the challenge of Gongsun Xu.

Now everyone is stupid, there is no way to stop it, I just hope that neither of them will be hurt.

To say that before, Li Kang's kung fu felt that he was not Gongsun Xu's opponent. But in the past two years, Li Kang has worshiped Xu Huang as his teacher, coupled with the actual combat experience of more than 100 battles, Li Kang's martial arts are much higher than Gongsun Xu.

At the beginning, Gongsun Xu still had the intention of teaching Li Kang a lesson, but as soon as he handed it over, he found that he was not Li Kang's opponent at all, even if he did it with all his might, he only had the ability to parry, and he had no power to fight back.

At this time, Gongsun Xu was even more angry, he who had always been on top suddenly felt greatly humiliated. This distraction didn't matter, as soon as he was careless, he was deceived by Li Kang's double axe, and it was too late to stop him, so he had to use the gun to seal it.

Li Dang didn't want Gongsun Xu to be injured and took half of his strength, so that's it, he still hit Gongsun Xu and pushed three steps backwards, and sat on the ground with a fart. Gongsun Xu threw the gun away and walked away in shame. Liu Yong hurriedly followed.

Only Tian Jing, Li Kang, and Leping were left at a loss, and they didn't know what to do. The good wine banquet broke up unhappily, and Li Dang also regretted it a little.

Three days later, Tian Jing took the covenant drafted by Yuan Shao and went to Gongsun Zhan's Yihou Mansion to meet Gongsun Zhan.

Gongsun Chan built a tall building in the mansion, which can be more than ten zhang high, and each floor is expected to be equipped with archers, and he can do his best to defend. Tian Jing went up to the top of the building, and then saw Gongsun Zan in the conference hall on the highest floor.

Tian Jing found that although it was only two years, Gongsun Chan was old, and he was much older all of a sudden. It seems to be related to these years of warfare and the situation in Youzhou has been in crisis, after all, the body is not as good as before.

Tian Jing has seen Gongsun Zhan, and he still sees Shangguan as a subordinate courtesy, after all, Tian Jing is from Youzhou. Then he said the meaning of Yuan Shao's truce and alliance in its original form.

Gongsun Zhan kept listening, but he didn't seem to listen, and when Tian Jing finished speaking, he suddenly asked, "You are now Yuan Shao's subordinate?" ”

Tian Jing hurriedly said, naturally not, I am now the general of the imperial court to conquer the north, located in the center, this time to promote the alliance between Jizhou and Youzhou, all just for today's son and the imperial court.

After hearing this, Gongsun Chan said slowly, "That's good!" I was still thinking just now, if you surrendered to Yuan Shao, should I kill you to vent my anger. Since it's not, forget it. Listen to what you mean, you just want to help, not Yuan Shao's people, then you put down Yuan Shao's letters and covenants, and I will deal with the rest of the matter. ”

Tian Jing suddenly felt very strange and didn't know how to answer. Stubbornly said, "General Gongsun, with all due respect, for Youzhou, an alliance may be the best ending. ”

Gongsun Zhan waved his hand, and Tian Jing felt bored and had to retreat.

After Tian Jing left, a person flashed out from behind Gongsun Zhan, who was none other than Gongsun Zhan's chief strategist Guan Jing.

Gongsun Chan asked, "What do you think?" ”

Guan Jing said, "I didn't expect that in two years, this kid who raised horses at the beginning could have such achievements." But it doesn't matter how he is, what matters is what Yuan Shao thinks, after fighting for so many years, why should he fight? ”

Gongsun Chan thoughtfully, "You mean ......?"

Guan Jing said, "For example, today's situation has changed, Cao Cao, the youngest brother who originally followed Yuan Shao, has become a powerful figure who owns the two states of Yuzhou and Yanzhou, and actually controls the situation between the Son of Heaven and the DPRK and China. If Yuan Shao didn't plan early, Cao Cao would definitely sit big, and maybe he would annex Xuzhou. At that time, Cao Cao's foundation will be solid, and it will be difficult for Yuan Shao to move him again. Forming an alliance with Youzhou, this is Yuan Shao preparing to go south. ”

After hearing this, Gongsun Chan felt reasonable, thought for a while and asked, "What if we take the opportunity to go south?" ”

Guan Jing said, "No." Youzhou has been fighting for a long time, and there is a shortage of material and civil resources. The soldiers have been preparing for war for many years, and they have long been war-weary, and now is the right time to recuperate. Moreover, if there is a war now, who will lead the troops? The general is injured and can't fight, the young master is young and inexperienced, if the second general is allowed to fight, I am afraid that the greater his prestige, the more difficult it will be to pass the throne to the young master in the future. Therefore, although this proposal was proposed by Jizhou, it is the most suitable method for us. ”

After hearing this, Gongsun Chan sighed, and said in his heart, it seems that there is no chance to defeat Yuan Shao in this life. That's it, being able to pass the throne to his son smoothly is also a good ending. Gongsun Chan motioned for Guan Jing to go down, let him take full authority to handle the peace talks, and stayed upstairs by himself, not knowing whether to remember the past or worry about the future, and it took a long time before he fell asleep.

Guan Jing came out to find Tian Jing and discuss the alliance. Tian Jing told Guan Jing about the trial in front of the army, and asked Guan Jing to send someone to contact him. He was ready to leave for Xu Wushan to visit his parents.

Originally, Tian Jing was going to stay in Yijing for a while longer, but considering the unhappiness with Gongsun Chan last time and Gongsun Zhan's attitude, he felt that it was better to leave early.

He told Li Kang and Leping that they would live in Yijing for a while, and when he returned from Xu Wushan, he would join them and go south together. It turned out that more than 300 personal soldiers were brought back, and now they are all returning to their hometowns to visit relatives, Tian Jing asked Li Kang and Leping to call them for training at any time, and if there are family members who are willing to go south together, they will also set off together at that time. Li Kang and Leping were not worried that Tian Jing would act alone, so they arranged eight personal guards to protect him.

Tian Jing led eight people to ride out of Yijing on a fast horse and rushed to Xu Wushan, which was also the first time he had returned to the land of Youzhou in the past two years. He always felt that he loved the land deeply, and when he let go of the horses to run freely in that familiar land, he felt that his roots were here. Although he has no ambition to dominate the world, he knows that he will come back one day, and he will change the fate of hundreds of thousands of people in Youzhou.

On this day, Tian Jing arrived in front of the gate of Xu Wushanzhai. Today's Xu Wushanzhai is much stronger and more prosperous than two years ago. Two stone walls have already been built around the wooden gate, and the guards have changed from hunters with bows and arrows to neatly dressed soldiers.

Tian Jingxin said, it seems that in the past two years, my father has also stepped up to consolidate his strength. Daddy's goal is very simple, that is, to stabilize the people, and it seems that he is doing a really good job.

Tian Jing shouted to the guards on the door, "Hey, the man guarding the door, please go back and report it, I am Tian Jing, and your village master Tian Chou is my father, just say that I came back from a wandering." ”
