"Haha, silence is golden, silence is really gold, what the lord said couldn't be more correct."

Looking at the proud You Heng, Kong Rong's heart was first stunned, and then there was a doubt. can make You Heng shut up and not speak, obviously only Wang Yu, who is recognized by him and respected. The reason why the negotiations in the early stage went so smoothly is undoubtedly due to this.

But the question is, if you know that You Heng is unreliable, why do you have to send him as an envoy? This trick is a false shot, and there are a lot of suspicions of this move.

After thinking about it, he still couldn't figure it out, Kong Rong asked helplessly: "Zhengping, what is the plan of the lord, you can always tell me now, right?" ”

"The lord is far-sighted, how can you and I easily guess his plans? If you and I can guess it, then how can we hide it from the heroes of the world and win all battles? You Heng shook his head, the smile on his face did not decrease, but the tone of the rhetorical question was not polite.

"That," Rao has a good relationship with You Heng and admires each other very much, but Kong Rong was still choked, but fortunately, he was used to You Heng's speaking style, and he lagged slightly, and quickly recovered: "Then what the lord told you last time, you don't have to keep it a secret, right?" I'm the one who wants to assess the progress of the negotiations, and I can't keep them in the dark, right? ”

"Big brother, why is it too late?" You Heng was happy, and even his eyebrows shook a few times one after another, "In the end, this negotiation is just a cover, if you don't talk about it, what's the matter?" This trip, you and I just came to see Yuan Benchu's jokes, what are you doing so nervous? ”

"Zhengping, quietly, quietly......" You Heng said in surprise, Kong Rong was startled, hurriedly stood up, and walked to the door. He opened the door of the tent and opened it outward, and was relieved to see that the guards guarding the door were all his own family.

Waving his hand to signal to the guards that everything was fine, he turned back and said in a low voice: "Zhengping, if you still recognize me as a big brother, you can tell me a good story." What the hell is going on? ”

His expression was very solemn, so that You Heng had to sit up and put away the maniac's style: "Big brother, you have also seen today's scene." Why can't you see the filth in the Jizhou army? ”

"You mean......" Kong Rong realized.

You Heng said with certainty: "Although the lord didn't say so, this peace talk is undoubtedly a plan to kill two birds with one stone. ”

"Which two birds?"

"One, you can buy the hearts of the people...... You Heng stretched out his index finger, "Does Yuan Shao have the idea of plundering in Qinghe?" Is there any idea of continuing to let the Huns go unchecked? Is there any intention to give up the captives? This is all uncertain, but as soon as the three chapters of the covenant of peace are released, what will the world think? How would you evaluate Yuan Shao? What will you think of the lord? ”

“…… It makes sense. Kong Rong really didn't expect this layer. He has a good family background, and his life is also smooth sailing. is a bit casual in being lenient and kind, and knows very little about the way of power schemes. In the words of later generations, he is a person whose sunny side is far greater than the dark side, and he is full of positive energy. I don't have the slightest insight into the conspiracy or anything.

"Hehe, how can it be justified? It should be said that it is wise and decisive. ”

With a proud and proud expression, You Heng stretched out his second finger and said with a smile: "Second." It's the other way around! Those people who were frustrated and judged were very satisfied with the conditions publicly stated by the Lord, but they poked Yuan Shao's sore spot. The contradiction that had not yet surfaced was picked up at once, so wouldn't there be an opportunity to take advantage of it? ”

"Impossible, right? That's what the lord told you that day? Kong Rong shook his head, saying that he couldn't believe it: "If this is really the case, why did the lord take the initiative to withdraw from the army?" Midwinter is approaching in a blink of an eye, and if it snows heavily, even if Jizhou really fights infighting, the fighter plane will be lost. ”

"Take the initiative to withdraw from the army, that's a stroke of genius." You Heng's smile became brighter and brighter, "Eldest brother, you might as well think about it in your shoes, if you are Yuan Shao, seeing that the lord suddenly withdrew from the army, and the retreat was so urgent, and the conditions for peace were so rich, what would you think?" ”

"What would I think? It's hard to say. Kong Rong was stumped, he had no experience in strategy, and he was even more unfamiliar with military affairs.

You Heng reminded: "Big brother, don't forget, Yuan Shao united with the princes and besieged Qingzhou, and now several soldiers and horses have been defeated, but they have not finished eliminating evil!" ”

"Langya Zangba?" Kong Rong suddenly, "Yuan Shao will suspect that Zang Ba is attacking, the situation in Qingzhou is in crisis, and the lord will return to the army to rescue?" ”

"Yes, yes." You Heng nodded his head, "The lord said that day: Jizhou has abundant material reserves, and the long-term confrontation is not good for Qingzhou, so it is necessary to lure the snake out of the hole and destroy the Yuan army in the sports war." Yuan Shao is suspicious, as long as he makes abnormal actions at a normal point in time, he will definitely be able to cause him to think wildly. ”

Kong Rong nodded, shook his head again, looked quite shocked, and suddenly asked, "Where does the countervailing plan begin?" ”

"Well." You Heng smacked his lips and said proudly: "The lord really didn't say it, it was the younger brother who speculated on his own, and he was not very convinced, but it was confirmed by what he saw today, and it was not far from ten." Although it is a retrospective extrapolation, but seeing this, the younger brother feels that he has also made great progress, haha. ”

While laughing, he continued to explain, and Kong Rong nodded again and again.

Wang Yu's conditions for peace all scratched the itch of the local faction in Jizhou.

Qinghe is a large county in Jizhou, and among the Yuan Shao shogunate, there are many Qinghe people, who would want to have a home and not be able to go back? The prisoners of war in Jizhou are also natives of Jizhou, and many of them can be related to the staff of the Yuan Mansion; Coupled with the great harm of the Huns to the local area, Wang Yu's three conditions were simply tailor-made for the Jizhou faction.

In fact, as early as when Yuan Shao made up his mind at the beginning, planning to bring the Huns as reinforcements and attack Wang Yu together, Fu Zhu and others raised objections, and did not hesitate to let his son risk his life to go on the mission. As a result, the mission was successful, but Yuan Shao was still the same, how could there be no cracks in the relationship between the two?

Although the contradiction surfaced, with Yuan Shao's power technique, as long as he was given time, he could not be suppressed. But Wang Yu first negotiated peace, and then withdrew the army, which was detonated at once.

You Heng gloated and smiled: "Big brother, look at it, Jizhou has made a fuss this time." ”

Kong Rong thought about it carefully, it was really like this, for a while. is also embarrassed: "The lord has a deep understanding of the people's hearts, and it is not surprising that he thinks it is Su Hui's deep seed, but Zhengping's vision is also quite good!" The ability to see things is a hundred times better than me. ”

"It's nothing."

You Heng waved his hand, his tone became a little low, and he smiled self-deprecatingly: "Since enlightenment, the world has slandered me, deceived me, insulted me, laughed at me, despised me, despised me, hated me, deceived me, and was innumerable, and I only looked at it coldly. ridiculed, and subtly, I achieved this narrow-minded and extreme character, and my notoriety became worse day by day, and it was me. There is no sense of self-suffering. ”

As he spoke, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and his tone became high-pitched: "However, the lord does not dislike my madness, does not despise the ugliness of my appearance, and does not ridicule and praise my radical character." The lord said: Narrow-mindedness is not a problem, and it is not necessarily without benefits. The so-called conspiracy in the world is often to think of people as dark and sinister, and the truth will be revealed, so ......"

Kong Rong was dumbfounded when he heard this.

But. He also understood, no wonder the lord was able to clean up the thorn of You Heng well, and even let him play silence at a critical moment. Sure enough, only very people can do extraordinary things.

"So, you and I are on duty. Now that it has been achieved, without further ado, it is peaceful and work harder, repair a book, and repay the lord. ”

Although I was surprised, Kong Rong was more happy for his friends, crooked talents are also talents, whether they can play a role or not depends on the mind of the employer.

"It's not hard, it's not hard." You Heng did not shirk, put away the pen and ink, and began to write.

……

It was already three days after Wang Yu received Kong Rong's letter, and at this moment, he was under the city of Juanxian.

"Huh? This You Zhengping, you really dare to think about it, and even let him come up with a counter-plan. "There are not many contents on the letter, and the relatively sensitive or confidential parts are written in code, but the meaning is very clear.

"Counter-plotting?" Jia Xu came up, very curious.

Before withdrawing troops, Wang Yu had already unified his internal opinions, conceived and laid out the overall strategy, and did not mention any counter-plots. Now Kong Rong, who is on the envoy, has come up with a counter-plan, but he doesn't know where to start.

"Well, let's take a look." Wang Yu handed over the letter casually.

"Hmm......" Jia Xu glanced at it, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.

The old fox showed this kind of expression, often because he had some special thoughts, and at the same time, it also indicated that someone was going to be unlucky.

Seeing this, Wang Yu was also very interested, and asked, "How is it?" ”

"Lord, you really didn't expect it beforehand?" Jia Xu asked rhetorically.

Wang Yu stretched out his hands and said innocently: "Wenhe, you know me, I'm really not good at conspiracy or something, who knows that luring the snake out of the hole can still have this effect?" ”

Jia Xu looked at Wang Yu for a while, and still didn't seem to believe it, but he didn't bother much, and said slowly: "Since you Zhengping said it, it shouldn't be wrong, didn't Leader Pei also say it?" Frustrated, he sent an envoy to prevent Yuan Shao from reinforcing the Xiongnu. ”

"So, how much do you think this incident will affect the situation of the battle?" Wang Yu also unconsciously slowed down his speech.

"The battle situation, it should be easier to lure the snake out of the hole, and the tacit understanding of the Jizhou generals will also decrease, and the rest, hehe." Jia Xu shook his head noncommittally, not excited at all.

According to Yuan Hao, Fu Gong and this person are the most concerned about the overall situation, but he may have a dispute with Yuan Shao because of this, but if Yuan Shao insists, he will not disobey the yang and the yin, let alone openly confront. His prestige among the scholars in Jizhou is extremely high, and if he refuses to ascend to the heights, it is impossible for civil strife to occur in Jizhou, and the impact will not be great. ”

"It's good to be able to lure Yuan Shao out." Wang Yu nodded.

He still has a certain understanding of Fu Zhu, and this person is one of the most perfect models of ancient scholars. Yuan Shao's early decisions in grand strategy are all his ideas; Wrong decisions in the later stages are contrary to the judgment of the frustrated professor.

Before the Battle of Guandu, it was recommended to take advantage of the superior military strength and geographical situation to conduct a protracted war. put forward the strategy of "entering Liyang, gradually camping Henan", fighting steadily, and at the same time "dispatching elite cavalry, copying its borders, making him uneasy, I will take it", and did not have to fight a decisive battle, but Yuan Shao did not listen.

Not only did he not listen, but he also seized the military power conferred by frustration, promoted his confidant Guo Tu, and the nepotistic Chun Yuqiong to take charge of the army. As a result, it was Guo Tu's tilting that forced Xu Yu to rebel, causing Cao Cao to have a plan to raid the black nest. Subsequently, it was Chun Yuqiong's instrength that allowed Cao Cao to successfully reverse the tide of the battle.

When Yuan Shao ran away, he was captured, and Cao Cao refused to surrender no matter how he was entrapped, and finally failed to escape from prison and was finally killed.

It can be said that if it weren't for Yuan Shaotai's fucking up, his reputation might not be worse than that of Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia. How could such a person be a rebel? He's just giving advice.

The enemy is in civil strife, and Wang Yu doesn't expect such a good thing as self-collapse without a fight, but he also heard that Jia Xu seems to have something to say. So he asked again: "Wenhe, is there anything else you haven't said?" ”

"I can't hide it from my lord." Jia Xu smiled and groaned: "This section doesn't have much impact on the overall situation, but it's not unhelpful. In the long run, it will undoubtedly weaken Jizhou's strength, and in the short term, the lord's heart is just on this. ”

"What's on my mind?" Wang Yu was slightly stunned: "Which one?" ”

"The five generals of Jizhou. Isn't the lord optimistic about two of them? Jia Xu rubbed his chin with one hand, pointed to Juancheng with the other, and said with a smile: "Then Lu Yi is quite arrogant, after the battle of Longcuo." I don't know where I am, but the other one is in this city. ”

"Oh?" Wang Yu raised his eyebrows. The excitement is high.

Although he already has a lot of talents under his command, he is a famous general. The more the merrier. Although Zhang Jaw's reputation and martial arts are slightly inferior to Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, his military strategy is not ordinary, and it is good to be able to be under his command. It's just that this person is also a stubborn temper, and he hasn't tried it, but he has not been able to enter.

Now, listening to Jia Xu's meaning, it seems to be ...... Got a door?

"Where did the plan come from?"

"Of course it's ......" Jia Xu gently spit out two words: "Anti-room!" ”

……

Juancheng, which had been calm for more than a month, fell into a tense atmosphere again.

Strictly speaking, the atmosphere in the city has been tense since the siege. When there is an enemy army outside the city, they are afraid that the enemy will attack the city; When there is no one, I am in a dilemma, I don't know whether it is better to go out of the city to find fighters, or to continue to defend the city and preserve strength. After tossing and turning a few times, there is also the distress of mediocrity.

Fortunately for the soldiers, General Zhang finally had no impulse and did not pull everyone out to face the terrifying and mysterious Qingzhou Army and the unpredictable future.

However, fortunately, it was limited to soldiers and ordinary non-commissioned officers, and the top brass of the army was worried about it.

By now, it has become obvious that most of the information received in the past two months is a false order, but there are also a small number of real orders, which are just mixed together and difficult to distinguish.

If the military plane is delayed, it is unknown whether it can get the understanding of the lord and whether it will affect the entire battle situation. The uncertainty of the future, mixed with the confusion of being trapped in a corner, creates a very complex atmosphere, which may be called anxiety.

At this moment, when the army gathered outside the city again, this anxiety reached its peak.

Just then, a familiar face appeared in front of Zhang Jaw.

"Mr. Yuan Hao, why are you ......" Zhang Jaw was taken aback, and when he looked at Xin Bi, he saw the same emotion in the other party's eyes. Tian Feng left before Yuan Shao entered Jizhou, and I heard that he went back to Julu's hometown, but now he suddenly appeared as an envoy from Qingzhou, how can he not be surprised and suspicious?

Tian Feng bowed his hand and said with a smile: "Hehe, I don't know, I was already in Qingzhou a year ago, and in the spring, the prince and prince of Meng did not abandon it, and assisted the counselor in the shogunate. ”

Zhang Jaw's face suddenly changed: "The last general respects Mr. Jing's personality and talent, so he respects him, who would have thought that Mr. would have fornicated with a foreigner, but it was extremely disappointing for the last general." Since Mr. has been in Qingzhou for a long time, presumably the false order that has plagued the last general for several months is also from Mr., right? Thinking of the old days, the end will not be embarrassed with Mr. today, if we see each other again, you and I will be like friends and enemies, and we will not blame the open jaw for being ruthless! ”

Zhang Jaw's words showed no mercy, but Tian Feng didn't care, and smiled indifferently: "The two countries exchanged troops, but they didn't kill the envoys, the general and Feng were both ministers of the Han Dynasty, how could they be so hateful?" In addition, the general has been trapped for a long time, and it is already in danger, even if he doesn't think about himself, doesn't he care about his parents and wife? ”

"Sir Hugh is alarmist!" Zhang Jaw was furious, and said coldly: "Since the eldest husband has been on the battlefield, the horse leather shroud is his duty, although there are many soldiers and horses in Qingzhou, although General Wang's strategy is strange, Jizhou has no soft bones to surrender, only a decapitated general!" If Mr. stops here, he should go quickly, don't force the end to turn his face, and ruin the old feelings! ”

"I wish to live and die with the general!" In addition to Xinbi, there were also generals above Sima of the defending army. Zhang Jaw Gu is a fierce general of the enemy, these generals are also battle-hardened brave people, when they shouted in unison, an awe-inspiring murderous aura rushed to their faces, and even Xin Bi, who was watching from the sidelines, was swaying for a while, and it was conceivable how Tian Feng, who bore the brunt of the battle, felt.

"Hahahaha......" Tian Feng didn't laugh in shock, but he was completely unaffected, but Zhang Jaw and the others were stunned.

"Jun Yi is both wise and brave, rigorous in governing the army, and has won the hearts of the army, even the heroes like the kings and princes, they also appreciate Jun Yi, although Feng is not talented, how can he be intimidating? The danger of the widow is inside but not outside, don't you hear it: Ji Sun's worries are not in the moment, but within the Xiao Wall? ”

Saying that, Tian Feng probed in his sleeve, took out a book slip, handed it to Zhang Jaw, and said: "I have been trapped in the lonely city for several months, and the news is not clear, I guess what happened outside is not known, just read the letter." ”

Seeing the suspicious look on his face, Tian Feng knew that the other party was frightened by false information, so he added: "Now that the two armies are negotiating peace, the Qingzhou army will soon retreat to the south of the Yellow River, and Juxian County will soon be able to resume contact with Jizhou. ”

Patting the bamboo slips, Tian Feng looked at his jaw and said meaningfully: "I know that I am loyal and brave, but I am only loyal and brave, not the master, but it is just a pearl and a secret investment." If he changes day by day, I just hope that he will not forget Feng's advice today. ”

With that, he turned around and took his leave.

Looking at Tian Feng's back, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't say anything after all, just focused his eyes on the bamboo slip in his hand, and his expression was solemn, as if there was a prophecy about the future written on it.
