In the military tent, Zhou Ping and Wang Zhen sat facing each other, while Gongsun Yuan sat in the middle of the two, with a posture of mediation, although the three of them all had smiling faces on their faces, but only they knew who was really smiling and who was smiling.

"It is better to settle the dispute, the Wang clan of Hedong did take the initiative to attack the virtuous master before, but after all, it was the order of the previous Wang family's great housekeeper, and now the virtuous master has expanded such a large territory, and even the salt lake has been pocketed by Mr. Zhou, and the big butler has also fallen, and now our royal patriarch has come to apologize to you in person, everyone is a neighbor, and there is no need to make trouble endlessly."

took a sip of warm wine, Gongsun Yuan's tone was sincere and gentle, but it was a standard peacemaker's attitude.

"Hmmm......"

Zhou Ping didn't respond clearly, he just hummed, indicating that he heard it. Seeing Zhou Ping's contemplative appearance, Gongsun Yuan didn't urge, he just nodded slightly to Wang Zhen, who had been cramped and nervous, and signaled him not to worry.

Although Zhou Ping learned about the change of power in the Wang family from the introduction and explanation of the two, what was the actual situation and what role Gongsun Yuan played in this incident, Zhou Ping did not intend to fully believe what the two said. But at least one thing is certain, that is, Gongsun Yuan is willing to help Wang Zhen speak, and he has benefits to take.

And Zhou Ping's concerns are far more than that, since Zhang Yan's death, the entire Bingzhou has been in a turbulent state, and Zhou Ping has been in a very closed cottage before, he can still understand a thing or two about the news in Hedong County, but if he looks at a higher level, looking at the entire situation in Bingzhou, he really doesn't know anything.

Gongsun Yuan is different, as the army division under Zhang Yan, he must be at the center of the vortex, how much does he know about the chaos in Bingzhou, and even in the hands of many people who only stir up the chaos, he is likely to be the biggest hand.

So when he came this time, did he already control the situation and do further business, or did he have a turmoil that was difficult to deal with and wanted to bring in foreign aid?

Looking away from Gongsun Yuan, Zhou Ping looked at Wang Zhen, the patriarch of the Wang clan who was sitting in front of him, this middle-aged man who couldn't tell his specific age was already covered with beads of sweat on his forehead, and when he saw himself looking at him, a humble and flattering smile immediately appeared on his face.

Nodding slightly at him, Zhou Ping continued his thoughts.

This so-called patriarch of the Wang clan is said to have just regained the real power in the clan from the hands of the family steward, and he is not very interested in the specific power disputes in the Wang clan Zhou Ping, but since he can regain the real power, such a person must be good at forbearance and calculating, but the appearance in front of him is not at all like the kind of person who does the thing to seize power.

Could it be that this is what he usually looks like he usually forbears?

After pondering this idea for a second or two, Zhou Ping shook his head lightly and denied his conjecture, the reason is very simple - if this Wang Zhen is really so capable, it is impossible not to have his name in the history books in the future. So it's not so much that this person is a forbearant hero, but that he has someone else behind him, such as Gongsun Yuan.

So in the final analysis, it is necessary to understand the real reason why Gongsun Yuan intervened in his battle with the Wang family.

Looking away from Wang Zhen, Zhou Ping looked at Gongsun Yuan again, he cleared his throat and said thoughtfully.

"Patriarch Wang, Mr. Gongsun, the two of you should know what the difference in strength between my side and Patriarch Wang's Wang clan is?"

"This ......"

Wang Zhen was a little hesitant and didn't know how to speak, but Zhou Ping continued to speak.

"Don't think about it, let me say it for the two of you - although we only have the land of Puban and Hebei two counties, I have the Hundred Beasts and the Taiping Second Battalion in my hands, and the Hundred Beasts Battalion is the many tiger-shaped warriors that the two of them see here, and their bravery should not be said by me; As for the Taiping Army, the royal patriarch should have also heard that it was my Taiping Army that thwarted the attack of the Pusaka Wang clan. I think these two battalions, you Hedong Wang Clan shouldn't have them, right? ”

"No ......"

"Very good, aside from these two battalions, I still have many brave generals under my command, although some of them are from the official army, and some are heroes in the forest, but all of them have the courage of ten thousand people, not to mention me, a virtuous teacher, whose ability to call the wind and rain is enough to easily take the monsters entrenched here. I think the royal patriarch's sons and daughters should have no one who can compare with me, right? ”

"No ......"

"Even if your Hedong Wang clan occupies most of Hedong, has accumulated savings for a hundred years, and has many people in your hands, how sure can you resist my attack. But don't forget, at your feet at this time, is the front of my army, as long as I want, it can move forward ten, thirty, or fifty miles at any time, and what is fifty miles away, I don't think the royal patriarch will not know. ”

"Know ......"

"So ......"

Zhou Ping leaned down and leaned towards Wang Zhen like a snake, and his true qi was quietly transported, making his eyes flash with a faint golden electric light.

“…… Patriarch Wang, what qualifications do you have to tell me that everyone is a neighbor, and peace is precious, and you want me to give up this low-hanging fruit Hedong County? ”

As Zhou Ping leaned forward, Wang Zhen subconsciously retreated, but there was only a cold chair behind him, with a little last hope, Wang Zhen subconsciously looked at Gongsun Yuan - whether it was to seize power within the clan or negotiate with Zhou Ping outside the clan, it was Gongsun Yuan's idea, so Gongsun Yuan would definitely help him successfully stop the war as if he was helping him seize power.

Seeing Wang Zhen looking at Gongsun Yuan, Zhou Ping also glanced at Gongsun Yuan with his spare eyes, in fact, his words seemed to be for Wang Zhen, but in fact they were for Gongsun Yuan, he just wanted to tell Gongsun Yuan one thing - this Hedong County is his thing, don't stretch out your hand, even if you really want something, don't talk to the Hedong Wang family, talk to him.

But Gongsun Yuan didn't look at anyone at all, he saw him sitting upright with his eyes closed, his tall body was straight, but he didn't touch the back of the chair for half a minute, and the light outside the tent shone in from behind him, hiding all his expressions in the shadows.

In a silence that Wang Zhen thought was very long and Zhou Ping thought was very short, Gongsun Yuan finally opened his eyes again, and in his eyes was a smile that was unexpected by the two of them.

"Mr. Zhou, I underestimated you; Or, Patriarch Wang, I think highly of you. ”

As he spoke, Gongsun Yuan slowly raised two fingers, and a touch of frost rose from Wang Zhen's feet, and then quickly climbed up, and in an instant, he climbed onto Wang Zhen's face, and he didn't even give Wang Zhen a chance to speak.

Zhou Ping was not surprised that Gongsun Yuan was like this, or rather, this was the Gongsun Yuan he knew, the Gongsun Yuan who repeatedly jumped between Eastern Wu and Cao Wei, and the first rat at both ends.

"So, let's talk, Mr. Zhou, or rather, Zhou Taishou."

Taishou, Hedong County Taishou.

A simple title has already invisibly finalized a lot of things.
