Hearing Han Fu's refusal, Ji Ping's complexion remained unchanged, and he made tea for Han Fu again.

During this period, the tea culture had not yet risen, the literati and Confucian scholars mostly drank alcohol, only the imperial palace and a few families drank tea, and the northerners drank less tea, and the tea making zuΓ² was also very rough, and it did not develop to the stage of roasting tea, but Ji Ping preferred to drink tea and always carried some with him.

Han Fu was born in Yingchuan Han, and naturally he had also drunk tea, and when he heard that Ji Ping still wanted to borrow food, he just put on a sad face and sighed.

Ji Ping was not angry, he knew that there was really too much food to borrow this time, and Han Fu had a more cowardly personality, and he could still discuss it, if he changed to other princes such as Yuan Shao, I am afraid that as soon as he heard about two million stones, he would have sent them away.

He took a sip of tea, felt the slight bitterness in his mouth, and said lightly: "Han Envoy, do you know that you are in danger now?" ”

He is familiar with history, he naturally knows that Han Fu gave up the position of Jizhou pastor to Yuan Shao during this period, and then was forced by Yuan Shao to defect to Zhang Miao.

As soon as Han Fu heard Ji Ping's words, his body trembled, and his face showed a look of surprise and uncertainty, and he said uneasily: "Why did Your Highness say this?" I've never held a grudge against anyone in my life......"

Ji Ping smiled and said: "Envoy, life and death have nothing to do with grievances, if there is chaos today." Jizhou is also a heavy asset in the world, and you are in Jizhou pastoral. has made countless people covet and calculate, and the so-called gentleman is not guilty. Embrace it. ”

Ji Ping saw Han Fu's face change slightly, and said sharply: "The enemy of the envoy is not Gongsun Zhan, not in the Black Mountain Army, but in Yuan Shao in the Bohai Sea!" ”

Han Fu's complexion changed even more, obviously he had been afraid of Yuan Shao for a long time, but he said forcefully: "I am originally a former official of the Yuan family, and I am not as good as the beginning, he wants this Jizhou pastor." I will give it to him. ”

Ji Ping heard that he was insincere, after all, he was a Jizhou pastor, who was willing to give it up lightly, but when Han Fu said this, he didn't refute it, just shook his head and smiled: "Yuan Shaoqi is a person, the outside is wide and the inside is jealous, if you make the king give this Jizhou pastor to him, I am afraid that his life will not be long." ”

Han Fu's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly. muttered: "I have always paid attention to reputation, I will give Jizhou Mu to him, if he harms me, he will be laughed at by the world." ”

Apparently. Han Fu himself felt that this was not convincing, but he kept comforting himself from the heart.

Ji Ping ruthlessly broke through his last psychological defense: "If you lose Jizhou, you will fall like a tiger in Pingyang." Why do you need Yuan Shao to do it, you only need to borrow a pawn to kill the envoy. Yuan Shao killed this pawn again, and said that his name was to avenge the king. Even if the people of the world don't believe it, what can you do if you have already turned into loess? ”

Han Fu's face turned pale and panted slightly, he was from a family, although he was cowardly, but he was not stupid, Ji Ping's words shattered the last bit of luck in his heart, which made him shudder.

Ji Ping added another handful of firewood: "So that you can know why Taifu Yuan recommended you to be the pastor of Jizhou in the first place, just to pave the way for Yuan Shao." ”

Bang!

The teacup in Han Fu's hand fell to the ground, looking at Ji Ping, his eyes were full of horror, and he didn't seem to believe it, but he just muttered: "No, no, how can it be ......?"

Ji Ping's voice was flat, but word by word penetrated into Han Fu's bone marrow: "Imagine how many state pastors there are in the world, Youzhou Mu Liu Yu and Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, all of whom are clan relatives, and Dong Zhuo, the former Mu of the Prefecture, holds heavy troops, but the reputation of the monarch is not as good as Liu Yu and Liu Yan, and the soldiers and horses are not as good as Dong Zhuo, but he has the most fertile Jizhou among the four states, has he never thought about the reason?" ”

Han Fu sat paralyzed on the ground, his eyes were full of despair, and there was still a little bit of resentment, unwillingness and helplessness, he was unwilling to give up Jizhou in his heart, not to mention that Ji Ping even analyzed that he would die if he let out Jizhou, and it was the advance and death that would also die.

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, hurriedly bowed to Ji Ping and fell to the ground, and said urgently: "Please also ask Your Highness for guidance!" Fu Ke ceded Jizhou to His Royal Highness. ”

Ahem! Ji Ping almost choked on a sip of tea, and when he heard that Han Fu was going to give up Jizhou, he was quite moved in his heart, but then calmed down.

As he said to Li Ru before, he should not occupy Jizhou at present, otherwise he will be enemies on all sides, Dong Zhuo, Qiang, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Montenegro, Gongsun Zhan, as well as Yuan Shao, Qingzhou Yellow Turban, etc., militarily may still be able to use their strength to fight from afar, but not politically, the end of being greedy and chewing is that he will even lose Laochao Hedong County, and the good policy form will also be ruined, internal and external troubles, until it perishes. He never underestimated the strength of the family of this era.

In history, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao quickly controlled several states, but in fact they were not really in control, they all relied on the power of the family, and the sequelae of this was also extremely terrible. The constant fighting between the two factions under Yuan Shao, coupled with his own lack of decision, finally led him to the end. And Cao Cao suffered several rebellions from the family and sacrificed the butcher's knife several times, but his Cao Wei was finally controlled and replaced by the family.

What's more, if he wants to enter Jizhou, he also has to have a run-in process with these families, and it is more difficult to get food for a while, so it is better to use Han Fu's current influence in Jizhou.

So Ji Ping shook his head and shamelessly pretended to be a righteous gentleman: "I have no ambition for Jizhou, I am just here to borrow grain and help the people." ”

Han Fu didn't expect Ji Ping to refuse his offer, and said dejectedly: "Your Highness, even if you add the counties, I can only lend 1.5 million stone grain, and I can't take out more, and the Jizhou family will definitely oppose it." ”

"One and a half million stones?" Ji Ping frowned, he knew that Han Fu was probably confessing, although Liu Hui said that the counties and counties in Jizhou controlled by Han Fu could have two million stone of grain combined, but it was definitely impossible to lend them all, after all, Jizhou County also needed food emergency, so one and a half million stone was already the bottom line of Han Fu's ability.

He muttered, "Since the grain is only 1.5 million stones, what about the money? Can I borrow 5 million money from the treasury to buy grain from various families? ”

Hedong County is in the midst of large-scale construction, and the money has long been exhausted. Nowadays, all the wages are used for salt and grain, so Ji Ping can be regarded as a poor egg at present. Only empty gloves white wolf.

As for borrowing and repaying, he didn't think about it. If Yuan Shao took Han Fu's Jizhou, would he still use it?

"Five million dollars?" Han Fu, who was frightened, was choked by a sip of tea, almost jumped up, and shook his head again and again: "This really can't be taken out, if you borrow food and borrow money, I'm afraid I, the Jizhou pastor, can't do it." ”

Ji Ping was silent, took out a brocade bag from the side, put it on the desk, and said slowly: "I will use this thing as a pledge." In exchange for three million stone grain, ten million gold, ten thousand ploughing oxen, and twenty thousand war horses. ”

"Your Highness, let's let Yuan Shao kill me......" Han Fu didn't look at the brocade bag on the case, and when he heard Ji Ping's lion open his mouth, he shook his head again and again.

Unexpectedly, Ji Ping opened the brocade bag and took out an object, Han Fu trembled all over, and lost his voice: "Transmission...... Heirloom jade seal! ”

Ji Ping smiled lightly: "Exactly." ”

Han Fu raised his head suddenly, glanced at Ji Ping, and his face changed greatly. Fell to the ground: "Temple...... You...... You are the king of Hongnong...... ι™›xiΓ ......"

Ji Ping was stunned, he didn't expect Han Fu to recognize him, you know, even Yuan Shao didn't recognize him.

But he didn't know. Yuan Shao saw Ji Ping several times, and Ji Ping was wearing an imperial crown on his head, high on top. But Han Fu had seen Ji Ping up close, that is, at Dong Zhuo's abolition of the emperor's ceremony. It was the edict of the abolition of the emperor read by Han Fu, who was the secretary of Shangshu at the time.

The more cowardly people are, the more cautious they will be and secretly check all sides. At that time, Han Fu was coerced by Dong Zhuo, and he felt extremely guilty about Ji Ping, the waste son of heaven, especially when Ji Ping visited Liu Xie in the north, Han Fu was most impressed by this young waste son of heaven.

At this time, although Ji Ping's demeanor and bearing have changed greatly, Han Fu didn't think of that at the beginning, but as soon as he saw the heirloom jade seal, he immediately understood everything.

Thinking that this wasted son of heaven was not only frozen and killed, but also organized a strong army to confront and defeat Dong Zhuo several times, Han Fu felt a deep chill in his heart.

Immediately, Han Fu bowed to the ground in fear again: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, the criminal minister will never dare to accept the jade seal of the country, and the minister will definitely go all out for the matter of money and food! ”

Ji Ping nodded: "Two million stones are no problem?" It would be better if there was any surplus, lest I look elsewhere. ”

Han Fu gritted his teeth and said: "The criminal minister is to lose this Jizhou pastor, and he also has to raise two million stone grain for His Majesty, just more ......."

Ji Ping didn't say anything more, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, these two million stone grains should be fine. Although there was an accident, Han Fu recognized his identity, but he finally got the food, and the heirloom jade seal didn't have to be thrown out, although he didn't care about the heirloom jade seal, but this thing might still be used at some point.

This Han Fu is also really cowardly, he should only be a scribe or a county guard in peacetime, in this troubled world, Han Fu is simply a food deliverer, but he also controls Jizhou, which is second only to Sili and Yuzhou, and even has a higher strategic position.

However, since Han Fu borrowed grain, he should naturally plan for Han Fu, and immediately muttered: "What cronies does Wenjie have?" ”

Han Fu hurriedly said: "Xun Chen, Guo Tu, and Xin Ping, all came north from Yingchuan with the criminal ministers, and Li Li Li in the middle of the governance was promoted by the criminal ministers, all of whom were cronies, and there were also governors in the army engaged in Zhao Fu and Cheng Huan, recruiting more than 10,000 crossbow soldiers, stationed in Zhangshui, and it was also credible." ”

Han Fu originally wanted Zhao Fu and Cheng Huan to garrison Hanoi, but later learned that Hanoi was occupied by King Shenwu, so he did not dare to invade Hanoi, and then ordered the two to garrison Zhangshui to defend Yecheng.

"Xun Chen? Guo Tu? Xin comment? Ji Ping hadn't heard of Zhao Fu and Cheng Huan, but he knew these Ruying celebrities, so he immediately shook his head and said: "Although they are the same Yingchuan celebrities as Wenjie, the reputation of the Yuan family is far beyond the reach of the king, and many of their clansmen are protΓ©gΓ©s of the Yuan family. Wenjie and Yuan Shao argued, maybe Hebei celebrities are more credible. ”

Han Fu's face turned paler, Ji Ping was a little clearer, he immediately figured this out, and couldn't help but be afraid, just looked at Ji Ping expectantly, waiting for him to say a rescue strategy.

As for why Ji Ping didn't reveal his identity and recruit the world's heroes, Han Fu didn't dare to ask at all, in his opinion, since this mysterious son of heaven did not reveal his identity, he must have his plan.

At this moment, there was a sudden chaotic sound outside, shouting and killing, and soon someone came to report: "Lord, Lu Yi led the troops to make a rebellion, the southeast of Yecheng was occupied, and the thieves attacked the state capital and the mansion here overnight."
