After everyone discussed in the study and agreed on the strategy, Huang Zhong and Hu Zhao left first. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, Wang Yan got up early, and after morning exercise in the courtyard, he went straight to the study after breakfast, sat down to sort out his thoughts, and thought about what was going on today.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door outside the study.

Shi A opened his mouth and said, "Lord, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan have arrived in the hall. ”

"I'll Come Then"

Wang Yan replied, a smile on his face.

This time, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were invited to the state pastor's mansion together, so as to seek the greatest interests for Qingzhou, and even more so to seek the greatest benefits without spending a single soldier. Wang Yan tidied up his clothes and went straight to the hall when he left the study.

Entering the hall, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan sat on the left and the right.

Below, there are also Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Shi A and others.

After Wang Yan sat down, his eyes swept over Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, and he said unhurriedly: "Today, I invited Brother Ben Chu and Brother Bo Qi to create an opportunity for the two to face each other, so as to discuss how Qingzhou should send troops. ”

When Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan heard this, their faces changed at the same time.

Talking about Qingzhou's dispatch of troops in front of Wang Yan means that the contradiction between the two has intensified, and Wang Yan is the one who benefits.

Gongsun Zhan was unwilling to suffer, and said in a deep voice: "Wang Yan, I sincerely ask you to send troops, but I don't necessarily have to ask you to send troops to help. Without your Qingzhou soldiers, the three thousand white horse servants under my command could also defeat Yuan Shao's army, but the war dragged on for a long time. ”

After a pause, Gongsun Zhan said again: "You are from Qingzhou, from the perspective of Qingzhou, it is natural for you to seek more benefits for Qingzhou, but your actions have harmed the interests of Youzhou, and I can't ignore it." I will not accompany you and take your leave. ”

After speaking, Gongsun Chan got up and walked out.

Wang Yan smiled and said: "If Gongsun Taishou leaves, I will help Jizhou unconditionally." ”

In an instant, Gongsun Chan froze in place.

This time when he came to Qingzhou, Gongsun Zhan was looking for an opportunity to destroy Yuan Shao, but he didn't expect that not only did he not succeed, but he was coerced by Wang Yan. It was precisely this coercion that made Gongsun Chan throw a bogey.

Once Wang Yan helps Yuan Shao, not only will Gongsun Chan not be able to take Jizhou, but Youzhou may be in danger.

Gongsun Chan suppressed the anger in his heart, sat down for the time being, and quickly thought about the rest of the methods in his mind.

Yuan Shao saw that Gongsun Zan was deflated, and he laughed in his heart, and after the joy, he was also unwilling to be manipulated by Wang Yan, and said: "Wang Yan, if you want to seek greater benefits for Qingzhou, it is impossible. I won't give you more food and horses, and if you don't want to send troops, I'll go find other princes to send troops. ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Shao was even more ruthless, and said confidently: "If you want to send troops to attack Jizhou, I will ask other princes to attack Qingzhou, and even incite civil strife in Qingzhou." I won't provoke you, but don't provoke me either. Farewell"

After speaking, Yuan Shao got up and walked out.

Wang Yan said: "Wait"

Yuan Shao asked, "What else do you have to say?" ”

Wang Yan smiled and said, "I'm a little curious, who are you going to find to attack Qingzhou?" ”

Yuan Shao said: "Yanzhou is adjacent to Qingzhou, I can ask Cao Cao to send troops." ”

Wang Yan replied: "Before Brother Ben arrived in Qingzhou, Cao Cao had already formed an alliance with me, does Brother Ben think Cao Cao will offend me for you?" ”

Yuan Shao said disdainfully: "As long as there are enough interests, Cao Cao will definitely be tempted." ”

Wang Yan said: "Big enough interests can make Cao Cao tempted, but it is precisely because the interests are too big that they will support people to death." The current Cao Cao only controls Dongjun, does he dare to go against Qingzhou? Moreover, Cao Cao also urgently needed Qingzhou's support. ”

Yuan Shao's face changed, and a look of hesitation appeared in his eyes.

However, Yuan Shao changed his words and said recklessly: "In addition to Cao Cao, I can also ask Dong Zhuo to send troops." ”

Wang Yan retorted: "Dong Zhuo is in the military pass, and he doesn't want to make progress, and now Dong Zhuo has long since lost the mind to sweep the princes of the world. And Qingzhou and Luoyang are thousands of miles apart, will Dong Zhuo send troops for you Yuan Shao? ”

Yuan Shao's face was solemn, but he snorted coldly.

As Wang Yan said, it is impossible to ask Dong Zhuo to send troops.

Yuan Shao's words changed, and he said: "Yuan Shu is stationed in Nanyang, and he also occupies Yuzhou, and his forces are strong, so I can unite Yuan Shu to attack Qingzhou." ”

Wang Yan said disdainfully: "The grievances between Brother Ben and Yuan Highway have long been known to the world. If there is a chance to kill the original brother, will Yuan Highway give up? As long as I find Yuan Highway to unite, he will definitely be willing to attack Jizhou with me. ”

"Hiss"

Yuan Shao's face was cold, and his heart was cold.

The competition between him and Yuan Shu has always existed, and if Yuan Shu sees the opportunity to destroy Yuan Shao, he will definitely not let it go.

Yuan Shao was in a solemn mood and said: "Qingzhou is adjacent to Xuzhou, I can also unite with Xuzhou to assassinate Shi Taoqian and ask him to send troops." As long as Tao Qian sends troops, I will send troops again, and when the time comes, you will be exposed to the enemy on your back, and it will inevitably be dangerous. ”

Wang Yan laughed twice and said: "If people don't offend me, if I don't offend people, I won't attack Xuzhou, it doesn't mean that the soldiers under my command are weak." If Tao Qian dares to attack Qingzhou, I will definitely enter Xuzhou. With Tao Qian's courage, will he offend my neighbor for you? More importantly, in your current situation, do you still have enough ability to send troops to attack Qingzhou? ”

Yuan Shao's expression was cold, and his heart sank to the bottom.

Tao Qian has long been dying, and he has no enterprising heart. Even as long as Wang Yan revealed a hint of intention to attack Xuzhou, Tao Qian was afraid that he would be frightened, making it impossible for Tao Qian to send troops.

For a while, Yuan Shao couldn't think of another strategy. After all, the rest of the princes are too far away from Qingzhou, and Wang Yan's martial arts are outstanding, and he is even more famous in the Tiger Prison Pass, and the rest of the princes will not easily offend Wang Yan.

Wang Yan said: "Brother Ben, sit down and talk about it, don't be impulsive." ”

The corners of Yuan Shao's mouth twitched, and he finally had to sit down.

Wang Yan smiled and said, "Actually? I'm not unreasonable. ”

When Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan heard this, they all rolled their eyes, and both of them thought in their hearts, your words threaten and intimidate, isn't it arrogant and unreasonable? It's just rough and domineering.

Wang Yan continued: "My conditions are actually very simple, and I won't embarrass the two of you. ”

Yuan Shao asked, "What conditions?" ”

Gongsun Chan also asked, "Is it still the same as before?" ”

Wang Yan chuckled: "Naturally not"

When Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Yan said in a deep voice: "My condition is that Brother Benchu will give Qingzhou 500,000 stone grain, and Brother Boqi will give Qingzhou 3,000 war horses, and I will not participate in this war." At the same time, I promise that the other princes will not participate in your fighting. Once one of the two of you asks the rest of the princes for help, I will help the other party free of charge. In short, I have created a fair fight for you. ”

At this moment, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan were extremely unbalanced in their hearts.

What kind of chance is this?

What is the reason for asking them to give food and horses without giving a single soldier?

Yuan Shao's eyes flickered, and he thought of an idea. He looked at Gongsun Zan and said in a deep voice, "Brother Gongsun, why don't we join forces to attack Qingzhou for the time being." ”

Gongsun Chan smiled lightly and said, "This is a good proposal."

Looking at Wang Yan's eyes, there was a hint of provocation.

Wang Yan said: "Brother Benchu let Brother Boqi's Youzhou army enter Jizhou, which is exactly what Brother Boqi wants. Is it really good to lure a wolf into the house like this? Is Brother Benchu really relieved? ”

Gongsun Zhan's eyes rolled and he promised: "Yuan Shao, you can rest assured." ”

Yuan Shao nodded, but the rest of his thoughts were brewing in his heart.

Wang Yan looked at Gongsun Zan again and said, "Brother Boqi, don't think that entering Jizhou is a good thing. When your army enters Jizhou, aren't you afraid of being ambushed by your first brother?

Gongsun Zhan's complexion changed, and his face no longer had the cheerfulness and boldness he had just now.

Yuan Shao said instead: "Gongsun Zhan, although I, Yuan Shao, seek Youzhou, I am not so despicable. ”

"I believe in you"

Gongsun Chan nodded, but he also had other thoughts in his heart.

Wang Yan said: "Both, I am not asking for your opinions, but telling you the decision. As long as you don't agree, I'll send troops. Of course, I will fight Jizhou first, and then I will divide Jizhou with Brother Boqi. ”

Gongsun Chan frowned and did not speak.

Yuan Shao's heart was desolate, why did he attack Jizhou first

Damn Wang Yan, it's simply hateful.

Originally, Yuan Shao planned to agree to come down temporarily, but after returning to Ye County, he repented and did not give Wang Yan a grain of grain. But Wang Yan wanted to attack Jizhou first, and his heart was half cold

In this case, he has no choice, and he is himself on the weak side.

Yuan Shao took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll give 500,000 stone of grain." ”

500,000 stone grain is not too much of a burden for Jizhou, Yuan Shao just regretted it, he knew that he shouldn't have asked Wang Yan to send troops to help him, but now he let Wang Yan blackmail him.

As soon as Yuan Shao relented, Gongsun Zhan was suddenly helpless.

If he didn't agree, Wang Yan would send troops to help Yuan Shao, and Gongsun Zhan said bitterly: "After I return to Youzhou, I will immediately allocate three thousand war horses." But if 3,000 horses want to reach Qingzhou, they must pass through Jizhou, and I can't guarantee the safety of passing through Jizhou. ”

Wang Yan chuckled and said, "I will send a caravan to Jizhou to contact, and at the same time, I believe that Brother Benchu will assist me." ”

Yuan Shaokou said incorrectly: "I will definitely do my best to help." ”

Wang Yan said: "You can return to your respective territories now, and within a month, if there is no news of food or war horses, I will take action."

Where did Yuan Shao dare to provoke the arrogant and domineering Wang Yan, and said: "Within a month, food will definitely be sent." ”

Yuan Shao gritted his teeth with hatred for Wang Yan, and he secretly vowed in his heart that once he defeated Gongsun Zhan, he would definitely mobilize an army to attack Qingzhou and bring back today's shame one by one.

Gongsun Chan also secretly made up his mind that after defeating Yuan Shao, he would immediately attack Qingzhou, and he would be ashamed of today.
