Chapter 707: Happy Surrender

"Originally, why didn't you want to contact with the alien, in this case, the alien is the former wolf and the tiger has no way out, as long as we give a little way, it is possible to take the entire three counties of Qingzhou at a very small price, but you have to talk to Fang Zhiwen, the little fox, about dividing up the three counties of Qingzhou, this is simply the end of the book1

Xu You was a little angry, he could see from Yuan Shao's expression that Yuan Shao seemed to be more interested in Xiao Ji's strategy, could it be that for the sake of temporary face, Yuan Shao would rather give up the benefits in hand? What's more, this benefit is not a little bit, but a huge territory with a population of millions!

"Hehe, it's far behind! If we believe in them, maybe they will turn around and sell us, or they will rebel and become a chronic disease, then it is not what I want, the three counties of Qingzhou are the back of Jizhou, can not leave such an unsafe hidden danger, and at the same time Jinan is the pedal for our intervention in the Central Plains, and there is no room for loss, therefore, it is better to solve this matter completely at one time. ”

Xin Shao's eyes were a little dark, Yuan Shao's words were just excuses, to put it bluntly, Yuan Shao just wanted to cover up his mistakes, Xu You suddenly regretted a little in his heart, really regretted a little, was it wrong for him to choose Yuan Shao in the first place!?

Come to think of it. Xiu's feeling of being frustrated and lazy couldn't help but be interested, and looked at the high-spirited Xiao Ji, Xu You suddenly thought, is this Xiao Ji deliberately pretentious? Maybe he had discovered Yuan Shao's innermost thoughts, so he deliberately fought with himself in exchange for Yuan Shao's trust?

When Xu You thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more he became. sighed heavily in his heart, hoping that this was just a means for Yuan Shao to balance his subordinates, if Yuan Shao could give up huge interests for the sake of his own face. That was so disappointing.

Seeing that Xu You had no intention of continuing to speak, Yuan Shao was both relieved and very ashamed and embarrassed. This kind of shame and embarrassment made Yuan Shao feel a little weak, seeing the eyes of his subordinates around him, as if everyone had seen through their careful thoughts, this feeling of humiliation made Yuan Shao's heart burst out of a nameless fire, and in the end, this anger still fell on Xu You.

It's all to blame on this damn Xu You, even if the fault of this matter really lies in the original choice, even if it can prove how accurate and far-sighted the original three strategies were, but you can't take all the honor on yourself, and put all the fault on the Lord's truth, right? Is this still the duty of a vassal?! A subordinate who does not keep his duty is definitely not a good subordinate!

Yuan Shao took a deep breath. I warned myself in my heart that I couldn't be too strict with the mistakes of my subordinates, so as not to hurt everyone's hearts, so I had to let Xu You go for the time being.

"The lord is right, in the direction of Jinan and Le'an, we really can't leave hidden dangers. In order not to end up in a dilemma of being attacked from all sides, if it cannot be handled carefully, the three counties of Qingzhou will suffer before they can benefit from it1

Geng Bao has been following Yuan Shao for a long time, how can he not see Yuan Shao's inner thoughts, Yuan Shao's problem lies in his personality, Yuan Shao's identity makes Yuan Shao appear too conceited because of his inferiority. The last problem is that he is too good-looking, which is not a matter at all for ordinary people, but as a leader, every flaw in character and quality will be magnified countless times to exert strength.

And as a subordinate, you must not take advantage of the weakness of the lord for personal gain, nor can you completely deny his ability because of the lord's personality problems, on the contrary, you should find a way to pick up the gaps, this is the role of the subordinate, therefore, after Geng Bao glanced at Xiao Ji and Xu You with disdain, he will push this matter forward first, and other problems can be left to Yuan Shao to solve slowly after his mood calms down.

Yuan Shao glanced at Geng Bao gratefully, and then turned his gaze to other subordinates, at this time, everyone also saw something more or less, now no one is stupid to touch Yuan Shao's moldy head, even the outspoken Xin Ping also closed his mouth, so the matter is settled.

"Okay, let's take a trip, after all, you have had a few encounters with Fang Zhiwen, doesn't he like to do business very much, and Gong Ze will not be worse than him in this regard, hehe1."

"Hehe, the lord praised it falsely, and his subordinates received the order 1 Guo Tu smiled playfully and took the matter over, this is a good thing, I guess I can get a lot out of it!

"It is now clear that Yuan Shao did not have an envoy to receive us, and Kong Rong wrote this letter to us, if you want a political solution, negotiating with Kong Rong is the only way out."

"But Kong Rong's conditions are too harsh, right? Isn't handing over all the cities and then negotiating a resettlement? ”

"Hehe, don't say that, the guild in Guangxian County has paid a ransom to get out of the house."

"You can still laugh, didn't the investors behind you say that they want to withdraw their capital?"

"Not at all, on the contrary, they think that Kong Rong can't control such a large territory at all, so what Kong Rong wants is just south of Guangrao in Qi State and Le'an County, as a military point, Linzi and Guangrao must be controlled in hand, and the other cities will eventually be released, just to force us to sign a stricter agreement and tie us to their chariots, which is good, at least for a certain period of time, we are forced to hold together, hehe."

The deputy's words made everyone present blush a little, people are so cheap, they had the opportunity to consciously hold together and then form a powerful appeasement group, but because of selfish intentions, they finally formed today's passive situation, and in the end they were forced by the aboriginal forces to form a strong binding military and economic bloc, which has to be said to be a wonderful irony for the deputies present.

It was a little cold. Another voice broke everyone's embarrassment.

"So, you don't think Kong Rong is asking for much?"

"Kong Rong is essentially just asking for the safety of Beihai County, he has never been a greedy or ambitious person, this can easily get quite a consensus from the player guild of Beihai County, if Beihai County is not behind Fang Zhiwen, the killing god, maybe the guild of Beihai County will have rebelled a long time ago."

"Huh. That's the same thing when you say this, so let's elect a representative to negotiate with Kong Rong as soon as possible, and talk about it a day earlier. It can reduce a lot of losses and consumption, which is good for us and for Kong Rong. ”

Watching everyone's emotions gradually rise. The deputies who are still a little ashamed are very complicated in their hearts, it is really shameless to surrender so happily!

"Yuanzhi, Shuzhi, Changxu, what do you think?"

Kong Rong asked about the written request made by the representative from Linzi, and before the formal negotiations, Kong Rong had to unify the internal opinions.

Sun Shao and Wang Xiu invariably turned their eyes to Li Yuanzhi, Li Yuanzhi now represents Fang Zhiwen, and behind Beihai County, it is Fang Zhiwen who supports and maintains Beihai County, and without Fang Zhiwen, the existence of Beihai County is almost very difficult. Wang Xiu and Sun Shao are very clear about this, although they are a little unwilling, but this is also a fact that cannot be changed.

Kong Rong is a good official, a good boss, and a mentor and friend. But he can't be regarded as a qualified lord, at least in this troubled world where warlords are rampant, Kong Rong's character is even more unsuitable as a prince, but Wang Xiu and Sun Shao are actually not so ambitious people, for them, to benefit one party with Kong Rong. It would be satisfying to save the people of one side from the flames of war.

Perhaps, this is called the gathering of likes.

Li Yuanzhi blinked, Kong Rong's question was actually misunderstood by Wang Xiu and Sun Shao, Kong Rong has a close relationship with the lord, so the instructions given by the lord must have been told to Kong Rong, so Kong Rong's question now is Li Yuanzhi's personal opinion, not Fang Zhiwen's thoughts.

"Master Kong, I am a soldier, and of course I listen to my lord in political matters, and my lord's opinion is my opinion."

Wang Xiu and Sun Shao were slightly stunned, then understood, and couldn't help blushing a little, Li Yuanzhi was telling the two of them euphemistically that Li Yuanzhi and Fang Zhiwen did not mean to interfere too much in the internal affairs of Beihai.

In fact, with the IQ of Wang Xiu and Sun Shao, they would not fail to understand that if Fang Zhiwen really intended to Beihai, he could not use the form of alliance, but adopt the mode of military occupation, and Kong Rong would not refuse.

Kong Rong didn't think about it so much, but smiled and stroked his beard and said: "I already know Zhiwen's opinion, I want to ask a few of you your own opinions, where is our bottom line for the negotiation of the other people?" ”

Sun Shao thought for a while and said: "My lord, control Linzi, Guangrao, and Juxian, no, it should be to capture Guangxian, these three places must be controlled by me, and the other places are not important, and the other is the restriction on the number of local troops, which cannot be compromised." ”

Wang Xiu also nodded and said: "I agree with Changxu's statement, and add that the tax must be implemented from the highest proportion, and it can be adjusted year by year, but the initiative is mine." ”

Kong Rong nodded silently, and turned his gaze to Li Yuanzhi, Li Yuanzhi scratched his scalp, to be honest, when he was in Qingdao, all the political things were handed over to Xie Shuwen, and Li Yuanzhi made no progress in this regard, but now he can't help but speak, otherwise he will lose face to the lord.

"Master Kong, I think we can basically sell the city again, of course, the population does not count, the population should be concentrated in the city under our control."

"You mean, sell the empty city?"

"yes!?" Li Yuanzhi looked at Kong Rong strangely, is there anything wrong with this? His lord always does this, and he has never seen any dissatisfaction with the stranger.

Kong Rong blinked, and then realized that he felt that he was shameless enough this time, but in fact, it was far from enough! To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation.
