Chapter 673: Let the Tiger Return to the Mountain

Chen Lin couldn't have imagined that the condition proposed by Fang Zhiwen was this, and this condition was obviously not something that Chen Lin could decide.

When Chen Lin first accepted this task to negotiate with Fang Zhiwen, he didn't have much worry about the task itself, in Chen Lin's opinion, Fang Zhiwen was a relatively cunning local rich man and local warlord, and this mission was nothing more than a power and temptation.

But when he arrived at Hangu Pass, he met Fang Zhiwen at the beginning, Fang Zhiwen chatted with him about some celebrity anecdotes, and asked Chen Lin more about the celebrities with whom he was friendly, and then Fang Zhiwen handed over the negotiation to Xu Shu, and this Xu Shu didn't look young and unknown, but he was as slippery as an old fox.

Going around in circles with Chen Lin all day long, trying his best to take out a lot of Yuan Shao's information from Chen Lin's mouth, but Chen Lin was not able to get anything useful from Xu Shu's body, Chen Lin knew that he had met an opponent, and it seemed that he was quite inferior.

What's even more strange is that in Chen Lin's impression, Fang Zhiwen, who was mercenary, was actually unmoved when he looked at the opportunity to extort bamboo in front of him this time, but cooled Chen Lin, who was a little anxious, for a few days, until the news of Yan Liang's victory in Huaixian County came, and Xu Shu made this strange request to Chen Lin seriously.

This request, which Chen Lin completely unexpected, was to appoint Gongsun Chan as the Taishou of Hanoi.

As for how Yuan Shao wants to operate, that's Yuan Shao's business, if Yuan Shao doesn't even have this ability, then don't say what kind of alliance leader he is, what kind of prince he is!

The reason why Fang Zhiwen made this request that seemed strange in the eyes of outsiders. Of course, it's not just to win Liaodong County and Xuansu County, in fact, those two counties can't play any tricks in the hands of Gongsun Zhan, Fang Zhiwen doesn't want to waste Gongsun Zhan, a talent with great ambitions.

This kind of talent is only fun if it is put in the Central Plains, instead of Hanoi cheapening Zhang Yang, a guy whose heart is higher than the sky and whose life is thinner than paper, it is better to give Gongsun Zhan, a man with a very good character value, and Gongsun Chan will reject Lu Bu in the north. Resist Cao Cao or Yuan Shao in the east, defend against Dong Zhuo in the west, and Liu Bei in the south. This situation must be very interesting.

As for Liaodong County and Xuansu County, now the center of gravity of Yiren has shifted southward, and the core interests of the top forces have gradually shifted from Youzhou to Jingnan and Jiaozhou. Youzhou has become a training army, making money, and raising barbarians, from this point of view, the risk of Youzhou is declining, and after the threat of aliens has declined, Gongsun Zhan's existence is very eye-catching.

On the other hand, Liu Yu had to maintain a better relationship with Fang Zhiwen because of the chaos in the Central Plains and the expansion of the Jizhou Yellow Turban Army. If you can't come to the Central Plains to make trouble, then Gongsun Chan is the best person to replace him.

Chen Lin is not a master of strategy, although his intelligence is not low, at least fifth-order, but. He didn't have much information in his hands, and he knew even less about Fang Zhiwen and Gongsun Zhan, so he couldn't judge what Fang Zhiwen's purpose was in making this request, besides, this matter was not something he could decide, and in the end, he could only convey this condition to Yuan Shao.

"What a whims! Outrageous. Could it be that Fang Zhiwen really thinks that he can give what he wants! 1

Yuan Shao slapped angrily on the desk, the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on Antai jumped up, and the tea was scattered everywhere, looking at Yuan Shao's angry face, Xu You smiled faintly, stroked his beard and did not make a sound.

"Ziyuan, Yuan Tu, don't you think Fang Zhiwen's request is too much! This is blatantly stumbling on me, is it a fool to bully me Yuan Shao1

"Lord, my subordinates feel that Fang Zhiwen may have other intentions in doing this, and at this juncture, he shouldn't do such a boring thing1

After thinking about it, I still feel that it is more certain to hold on to the middle, the sage said to be modest, it seems that the mean is really a very good thing, and I have to study it carefully!

Yuan Shao snorted heavily, took a deep breath, suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, Xiao Ji said well, will Fang Zhiwen still do these boring things at this time, the situation in the Central Plains is very delicate now, presumably Fang Zhiwen, the little fox, can naturally see it.

Yuan Shao's transaction request can indeed be regarded as relying on Zhiwen, but since Yuan Shao dares to tie his interests with Fang Zhiwen's interests, it naturally makes sense, if Yuan Shao collapses, the other party Zhiwen will not have any benefit at all, although Liu Yu is blocked between the Yellow Turban Thief and Miyun, but with Liu Yu's ability, can he really block the Yellow Turban Thief?

If the Jizhou Yellow Turban Thief becomes bigger, or Han Fu becomes bigger, it is not a good thing for Fang Zhiwen. Therefore, Yuan Shao thought that Fang Zhiwen would eventually lean towards his side on the Central Plains issue, but he didn't expect that Fang Zhiwen suddenly put forward such a condition in exchange for supporting Yuan Shao to end the Battle of Luoyang as soon as possible.

"What Yuan Tu said is reasonable, so what is the purpose of Fang Zhiwen's doing?"

"This may be to eliminate the threat behind him, if he can transfer Gongsun Chan peacefully, it is better than the ease and cost-effectiveness of an all-out war with Gongsun Chan1

Xiao Ji's statement is very reasonable, but Xiao Ji himself is not very confident, and he looks at Xu You's reaction from time to time while speaking, but Xu You's face is completely unresponsive, just still smiling faintly.

"This also makes sense, he wants to get rid of the burden by the way, but why Hanoi County, you know, Hanoi is our territory, if I agree, won't the gain outweigh the loss?"

Although Yuan Shao was inclined to agree with Xiao Ji's statement, there was something unreasonable in Xiao Ji's speculation, compared with the interests of ending the battle of Luoyang as soon as possible, the loss of the entire Hanoi County was still too great, and the shrewd Fang Zhiwen would not propose such an unreasonable exchange, right?

"At first, it's not hard to understand."

Xu You finally let go, Xiao Ji's words have been said to death, now it's Xu Yu's turn to step on it hard, Xiao Ji's face became ugly, this damn Xu You, if you don't step on yourself, will you die!

"Oh! Ziyuan, please say. Yuan Shao's expression was slightly hurried, which made Xiao Ji's heart very uncomfortable.

"At the beginning, we can imagine the situation of Si Li after the end of the battle of Luoyang, there is no need to question that the eastern part of Henan Yin is in the hands of the highway, the southwest of Henan Yin may be thousands of miles away, Yingchuan has Kong Ling and Cao Cao, Hedong has Ding Yuan, Hanoi should have been led by Wang Kuang, and finally, what about Luoyang?"

"I can't occupy Luoyang, because our foundation is in Jizhou1

"Yes, I didn't get carried away in the first place! Therefore, Luoyang is still in the hands of the highway, so let's look back at Hanoi led by Wang Kuang, it is a state of being attacked on all sides, and it is really hard to say who the flowers will fall into at that time, it is very likely that it will fall into the hands of the highway, at the beginning, would you like to see this ending? ”

Xu Yu's words made Yuan Shao suddenly realize, as long as he looked a little longer, Hanoi, which seemed to be a good place at the moment, had become a place of four wars, and with Wang Kuang's ability, it was impossible to hold this hot land, rather than Yuan Shao still having to worry about supporting Wang Kuang at that time, it was better not to start at the beginning, but don't and can't cheapen your opponent in vain, so it's best to find a thorn to put here and give the surrounding Ding Yuan, Han Fu, and Yuan Shu a headache.

In this way, Fang Zhiwen's deal seems to be a win-win proposal, and it is really suitable to put it forward at the moment, Fang Zhiwen has since gotten rid of the big trouble behind him, and Yuan Shao has also found a big trouble for his enemies, and he can get rid of the embarrassing situation that may occur in the future, a good thing! That's a good thing!

"I see! Awesome, awesome! This little fox is really powerful, I should be glad that this guy's roots are in Youzhou, and he won't run to the Central Plains to mix, hehe"

Yuan Shao understood the root of the matter, and the whole person relaxed, the cheerful and sunny smile reappeared on his face, and he stroked his beard and unexpectedly praised Fang Zhiwen, which meant that Fang Zhiwen's jealousy was really deep.

Xu You smiled slightly, he obviously won a game, looking at Xiao Ji's constipated face, Xin was in a very comfortable mood, but thinking of Fang Zhiwen, Xu You's mood became complicated again.

"Then I'll write back and ask Kong Zhang to reach an agreement with Fang Zhiwen as soon as possible, the longer the battle of Luoyang drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us, these bastards actually want to use Dong Zhuo to grind us to death."

Speaking of these bastards, Yuan Shao's mood has not become very good, so Yuan Shao hopes that he can quickly end the battle of Luoyang and give these bastards a resounding slap.

"Don't worry, now our grain and grass can still support a few days, we might as well start acting directly, on the one hand, to force Fang Zhiwen to make a decision, on the other hand, we can't give Dong Zhuo too much time to schedule."

Xu You squinted his eyes and said slowly, this trick is indeed a scoundrel, but Fang Zhiwen must eat, in case Yuan Shao is defeated, Fang Zhiwen's entire plan will be bankrupt.

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment and then understood Xu You's idea, thinking of Fang Zhiwen's deflated appearance, Yuan Shao was in a good mood and laughed.

"Hehezi's plan is very good, presumably Fang Zhiwen will definitely scold you if he knows it."

"Hehe, it's also a skill to be able to scold1

Xu You twisted his goatee and smiled, his eyes swept towards Xiao Ji intentionally or unintentionally, his words stopped in Xiao Ji's ears and were extremely harsh, Xiao Ji understood that Xu You was saying that he didn't even have the ability to scold.

Xiao Ji lowered his head, not wanting Yuan Shao to see his hideous look, but while being angry, he made a hard note to Xu You, there will always be a time for reckoning in the future.
