"So, how do you go to see him? If Xu Zhen arrived at the garrison in Youzhou, he would have to send an envoy to meet him. "Gongsun Du's health has not been good in recent years, and he is not very willing to travel far.

From Liaodong County, you have to cross Montenegro.

The mountains are difficult to walk, and there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants in the jungle, and the temperature difference between day and night is also large.

Don't do everything possible to see Xu Zhen at that time, he was scolded by him for taking a gift, and he couldn't even see anyone if he didn't take a gift.

"In this way, we will send the special products of Goguryeo's looting, such as Goryeo slaves, clothing, cloth, etc."

Gongsun Du's face was full of disgust, "These things, compared to my big Han, are like dross, Goguryeo is sparse and cold, and it is difficult to cultivate." ”

"Can it really be useful to take it to this bike?"

"Goguryeo's iron armor and blades are also shoddy and useless."

"Good thing, rare ......"

Gongsun Kang also laughed a few times with a bitter face, perhaps this is the most special feature.

……

In July, Xu Zhen came to Zhuo County, Youzhou, and Gongsun Du immediately sent envoys to ask to see Cao Chun and Xu Zhen.

and gave Cao Chun a gift, but he didn't prepare it for Xu Zhen, but only sent three boxes of books.

These books are also the books that Gongsun has collected for many years, although they are not masterpieces, but they are also ancient scrolls.

After many inquiries, they only heard that Xu Zhen was collecting these ancient scrolls, although they didn't know what the use of him collecting them was.

But Xu Zhen actually accepted it and gave Gongsun Kang some money.

A few days later, Xu Zhen arrived in Youbeiping County, met with Gongsun Kang, and set up a simple banquet to entertain him, which flattered Gongsun Kang.

It was the first time he had seen this famous prince, and he understood that this matter was of great significance.

Of course, he came to visit him as an envoy with good intentions, and he was not afraid of being detained here, there was no point.

So it's fun to be at ease.

Gongsun Kang wore an ink-colored robe, a jade belt around his waist, his hair was tied behind his head, and the rest of his long hair was spread down his back, his beard was neat, and his face was rough, so it didn't match the dress.

But every move is quite Confucian.

It should be that there is indeed Confucianism and Taoism at home, and I have been exposed to it since I was a child, so I have some knowledge.

It is also possible that Gongsun Du himself intended to let his son cultivate both civil and military, so that he could not only lead the army in the future, but also manage the government.

In this way, the territory can be more stable.

In fact, this time Gongsun Kang wanted to follow the envoy to see Xu Zhen in person, and Gongsun Du was not allowed.

But I can't resist this son, I want to come and see Xu Zhen's style and talent with my own eyes.

Sometimes, seeing is believing, hearing is false.

He must understand what kind of person his very threatening neighbor is in his bones.

Otherwise, it is not allowed to hear other people's words after all.

"Ride the car, the villain toasts you."

Xu Zhen waved his hand and said indifferently: "Don't drink, talk about business." ”

At the banquet, Xu Zhen quickly finished eating, and he no longer planned to continue to be hypocritical.

He waved his hand neatly, refused Gongsun Kang's invitation, put down the bowl, looked at him with a calm face, and then said: "Since you have arrived in Youbeiping for the envoy, there must be something to discuss." ”

"After the edict of the Son of Heaven was issued, Gongsun Du was named the Marquis of Xiangping, and Liaodong was also handed over to him, and he was ordered to guard Xuansu County."

"Gongsun Gongzi should understand that Xuanwu County has been repeatedly lost and recaptured over the years."

"Goguryeo did not give up on invading the Han Dynasty, and right now, your father managed the army well, recaptured Xuansu County, and attacked the Goguryeo border many times, and his contribution was very great, and his prestige was not small."

Hearing this, Gongsun Kang's face was much more relaxed, and he could hear that Xu Zhen was praising him, so naturally there was no need to be so nervous.

Xu Zhen was not blaming, nor was he too hostile, and it could be seen that Che Qi did not have much opinion on the Gongsun clan's entry into Liaodong.

"Junhou, I praised it, my father also took care of the people for the Han Dynasty, so he devoted his life to it."

"No," Xu Zhen immediately raised his hand again, Cao Chungang wanted to say a few words, but was stopped by Xu Zhen again, "Your father is for the growth of the family." ”

Tut.

Cao Chun glanced at Xu Zhen, why is he so aggressive when he speaks today! Why bother!

These words made Gongsun Kang's face change greatly, his smile suddenly disappeared, and his face stiffened again.

I feel like I'm talking sharply again.

What kind of character is this prince?

The next one is good and the next one is bad.

Xu Zhen's face was still calm, and then said: "Let's be honest, my father was just a small official in the beginning, and with his bravery and intelligence, he was recommended, and he was indeed talented, so he reached today's status. ”

"But the Gongsun clan wants to survive forever and the family can continue, but this move is not good."

"How bad?" Gongsun Kang immediately looked at Xu Zhen curiously, what do you mean by this, are you giving me ideas?

"You shouldn't accept the letter of appointment from Yongzhen Liaodong."

"Why shouldn't ......?"

"The prime minister has always felt that Liaodong has not been subdued, and now it is helpless to give it to your father, because he still has to go south, but what about after the victory of the southern expedition? There is only a vacancy in Youzhou and Liaodong in the world, how can I be stable in my heart? ”

Cao Chun leaned back and looked at Xu Zhen dumbfounded.

I'm still here, Bowen, aren't you afraid of leaking it?

No matter how good our relationship is, my surname is Cao, what are you talking about?

At the beginning, Cao Chun was the only general other than Cao Cao who could get Sutie armaments from Jizhou, so you can imagine how good the relationship was.

However, Xu Zhen didn't seem to shy away from him at all.

It shouldn't be that he missed it, but that he had his own plans, Cao Chun thought to himself.

"What about me, my father has received it now?"

Xu Zhen smiled and said quickly: "It's okay, trade with Jizhou, welcome the people of Youzhou, and integrate into one, although there is no need for tribute, but it is still sent to the tax tribute every year, as if it is too guarded as usual, so over time, it will naturally make the prime minister feel at ease." ”

"In the future, the generals and lieutenants will be sent to fight with the Cao clan, share the same hatred of the enemy, obey the military order to transfer, and will not be suspicious."

"Well, this is reasonable," Gongsun Kang nodded slightly, and he listened to Xu Zhen's words.

The general meaning is that the prime minister is indeed helpless at this time, and does not want to govern the affairs of Liaodong, but he does not want to see Gongsun Du continue to grow and expand in Liaodong.

However, Liaodong can't really think that the political affairs are victorious, and the Han really doesn't care about it in the future, but still has to gradually annex it, otherwise sooner or later it will be exterminated.

At that time, it will not be so simple to do things, once the Cao clan settles on the Central Plains, and then comes north to subdue Liaodong, then the Gongsun clan just doesn't know the times, and no one can survive.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Kang couldn't help but sigh deeply, raised his eyes to the sky, and looked stunned, "Thanks to the guidance of the rider, I really didn't expect the prime minister's thoughts before." ”

"It's a pity that this opportunity was missed."

"Naturally, the opportunity will not be missed," Xu Zhen immediately put his hands on the case, sat upright, and said loudly: "Now, Gongzi Kang can go back immediately, inform your father of these words, and after receiving the title, hand over the tribute to the prime minister first, and then hand over a proton, and go to Xudu to enroll." ”

"You should have a younger brother, right?"

Gongsun Kang nodded hurriedly, "Yes." ”

"That's right, for you, if you send your younger brother to Xudu, you can inherit his position."

"For Liaodong, there are protons and tributes, and the prime minister will be very happy."

"As far as I am concerned, Jizhou's business is gradually prospering, and I am not afraid of you inserting an internal line, so I can rest assured that we can trade with each other, killing three birds with one stone."

"In this way, you will be able to keep the soldiers and horses of your Gongsun family."

"Good, good!"

Gongsun Kang was confused for a while, but he was able to sort out the general trend a little, according to Xu Zhen, the Gongsun clan could continue to be promoted after that, and it really continued for the family.

After trading with Jizhou, prosperity is shared, and you can also go back and forth with Xu Zhen more, and be more familiar, so that you can also make political achievements after many years, making Liaodong a big help.

This is naturally a good thing.

"You Liaodong, there is a vast wasteland, if you can grow farmland, grow crops, it is a huge granary, to exchange grain and Jizhou commodities for commercial goods, it is very convenient to walk, you have to return to Youzhou to melt, divide into isolation, will only be helpless, you can't fight Goguryeo, let alone enter the Central Plains, this Liaodong Tibet can't hide."

"There is a Yangtze River moat in Jiangdong, and there is a mountain danger corridor in Xishu, all of which will be captured, and Liaodong is naturally nothing."

"What you want, you can't get anything, but take a step back, there is still a surplus to gain, after all, the friendship in the world is all about you coming and going, the Cao family sends grace, how can the Gongsun family return the favor."

"If not, what is it?"

Gongsun Kang was stunned for a moment when he was beaten, that is...... I don't know what to do.

He is proud of his achievements and does not respect the Cao family.

Sure enough, it is impossible to occupy Liaodong so alone and suffer from the enemy if you want to last for a hundred years.

That's right.

"In the next, I must bring the words."

"Okay," Xu Zhen immediately got up and wiped his mouth, "That's all, I'm going to the barracks to train sergeants, I can't accompany me today, please ask my son and brother to accompany Kang Gongzi." ”

"You're busy riding the car," Gongsun Kang immediately got up and wanted to send it, while Cao Chun and Xu Zhen walked all the way out of the main hall, sent him to the gate, and walked a little way beside him.

gave a thumbs up softly on the side, "Bowen, this is reasonable, maybe Gongsun Kang can listen to it." ”

"It should be possible, in this way, Liaodong is naturally open to Youzhou, after trade, carriages and horses will pass, and a wide gallop road will be built from Liaoxi to Liaodong to connect Liaodong vassal countries, and it will take the son and brother to bother."

"Why me?"

Cao Chun was stunned, "Ask the court for money?" ”

"Yes, I can't ask for it, I have to help Jizhou get it."

"Oh...... Okay," Cao Chun nodded, smiled at Xu Zhen, put him in the carriage, and came back to accompany Gongsun Kang to drink.

That night, the two talked happily, and Cao Chun followed Xu Zhen's previous words, and discussed the arrangement of the subsequent army stationing, and asked Gongsun Kang to bring the words back.

Moreover, he also made it clear that he would recommend him in the future, so that the exploits of the Gongsun clan in Liaodong and Xuansu could be delivered to the Son of Heaven as much as possible.

So on the second day, Gongsun Kang went back happily.

Inform his father of all the proceeds of this trip, as well as many civil and military officers in the court.

The generals were not easy to say, but the scribes were a little hesitant, and after several scribes whispered, one of them stood up and said, "This is not unreasonable. ”

"If there is Jizhou business road, Youzhou manpower, plus a large amount of wasteland in Liaodong, once it is planted, it will also be beneficial."

"This is a matter that benefits future generations, and pays tribute every year, the Cao family knows that Liaodong does not have the heart of self-reliance, and has never monopolized a large area of land, and is proud of supporting the army."

"In this way, the prime minister can rest assured that he will not send troops to Liaodong, at that time, the lord captured Goguryeo and Fuyu, that is a great achievement, these merits will benefit future generations in the future, and even the hundred officials of Liaodong."

This is reasonable, Gongsun Du heard the sentence "The capture of Goguryeo is considered a merit", and his heart immediately became interested.

"That's a good point," Gongsun Du coughed twice, and took a deep look at Gongsun Kang in front of him, this glance made him dodge a little, not daring to look directly.

"Let's go to Xudu, Kang'er is in charge of Liaodong, and he and Cheqi and General Wei build a gallop road for Liaodong, and trade with each other."

"I sent a letter to Prime Minister Cao Cheng, I wrote it by myself, and sent tribute for the past three years, mainly grain, grass, cloth, and silk, and then sent Goguryeo slaves, 50 Goryeo warriors, and 3,000 pieces of armament for Prime Minister Cao."

"Whoa!"

Gongsun Kang immediately smiled relaxedly, so that they had face for each other.

Prime Minister Cao Cheng will definitely not worry about me Liaodong anymore.

……

In August, when the tribute arrived in Jizhou, Gongsun Dumi's subordinate deputy general Jian sent Xu Zhen thirty Goryeo beauties, all of whom were carefully selected young women who had never been married.

Moreover, he is thin and pitiful, the key is that he has a little foreign style, he can't understand what he says, and he is more gentle and humble.

Xu Zhen happily accepted it, and said that it was good to feed, and Goguryeo did not have much food, so the women there had developed the habit of eating less and being patient since childhood, and would not waste food.

After that, it was sent to Xudu.

The court was surprised, and there were many beautiful talks, all of which praised Prime Minister Weijiahai, and made Gongsun Du surrender, so that he would send protons to Xudu to enroll in school and give three years of tribute.

Above the court, when the Son of Heaven heard the news in the early dynasty, he stared at Cao Cao beside him several times, full of surprise and admiration, and of course, there was still trembling fear.

He couldn't understand that Cao Cao's prestige had actually spread to Liaodong?

Why would Gongsun Du pay such tribute? You must know that when Dong Zhuo was in power, there was no movement in Liaodong for several years!

He didn't come to pay tribute at all, and he never respected the Han court, he always regarded himself as a lonely country, and the people of the Gongsun family simply regarded themselves as the son of heaven in another place.

Now, he actually completely surrendered to Cao Cao?!

sent protons, opened a trade road, withdrew troops and defenses, and directly supplemented three years of tribute, tens of thousands of stone soldiers' rations, tens of thousands of pieces of cloth, and various treasures outside the plug.

There are even samurai from foreign lands who are sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and these samurai are all slaves and can be killed at will.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Cao Cao was congratulated all the way, strutting with his hands behind his back, and pursed his lips, but the corners of his mouth kept rising and trembling, but it made people know that he was really happy in his heart.

It wasn't until after the Prime Minister's Mansion that he finally couldn't help it and laughed.

"Hahaha!!"

"Bowen's mouth is really powerful, a few words can be beaten, and the meaning of my reward can be said clearly and clearly! Even Gongsun Du was convinced. ”

Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You and other Wenchen who followed back were naturally smiling.

At this moment, Xun Yu arched his hand and said: "In this case, there is no need to be afraid of Liaodong anymore." ”

"Yes, Wen Ruo can rest assured!" Cao Cao pursed his lips and looked back, stood with his hands in his hands, and patted Xun Yu's shoulder.

When these congratulatory civil and military officers had left, and only Guo Jia was left, Cao Cao put away his smile and said solemnly: "In this way, I should ask for a map of Liaodong, and I have sent a letter to inform Bowen that he will be a scout under his command and depict a map of Liaodong in detail within half a year." ”

Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, then his brows were locked, and he nodded: "Okay." ”

Something today.,It's only three chapters and 12,000.,I'm sorry.,I'll update another chapter in the early hours of the morning.
