"Oh, this is just a delicious poison sent by Cao Cao. There is something very gratifying about it."
Although Gongsun Ming saw Zhao Yun's strange behavior, he was not in a hurry to explain it. Instead, he smiled, pressed his hands to everyone, and concluded the so-called imperial edict in a calm tone.
After hearing what Gongsun Ming said, the generals immediately remembered that Liu He was also appointed as Youzhou Mu at the same time, and they all fell silent.
"Don't worry, gentlemen. Although the medicine is poisonous, some people will only eat the delicious half. As for the poisonous half, it depends on whether Yuan Benchu takes it or not."
As early as when he decided to accept the appointment of the former general, Gongsun Ming had already considered the current situation. He did not care about Liu He being the shepherd of Youzhou. It was nothing else. It was impossible for the two sides to coexist. Sooner or later, they would see each other on the battlefield. You know, whoever has the bigger fist will be justified. It has nothing to do with whether he is a pastor or not. Besides, being such a former general will also be of great use in breaking the deadlock with the Montenegrin Army. Of course, The matter was important, and Gongsun Ming would not give a detailed explanation, so he just vaguely explained the matter.
"My lord is wise."
Seeing that Gongsun Ming's group was confident, although the generals still had doubts in their hearts, they did not dare to ask questions casually and could only praise him in unison.
"Okay, I have been busy for a long time, and all the gentlemen must be tired. Please stay here, uncle and Zilong, and the rest will go back to their respective headquarters."
Gongsun Ming was obviously not ready to talk further, and he issued an order to expel the guests with a wave of his hand. The generals would not have any objections to this. They all withdrew from the Chinese army's tent.
"Ming'er, Cao Cao's move may be a deliberate attempt to alienate the relationship between our army and Zhang Yan's subordinates. We must be on guard."
Gongsun Fan had a different status, so he would not have the worries of the generals. As soon as everyone retreated, he quickly expressed his worries.
"It doesn't matter. Although the Montenegrin army is large, its elite has been lost in previous battles. More than half of it has been lost in previous battles. It looks like hundreds of thousands of troops, but in fact it has less than 60,000 fighting troops. Although it has an advantage over our army, it is hard to say Victory is inevitable, but that's not the case. Zhang Yan had led his troops to attack a long time ago, so why did he stop five miles away? He was just waiting for someone to show weakness first. Now, with Cao Cao's intervention, it's time It's Zhang Yan's turn to be anxious. If my nephew's predictions are correct, Zhang Yan will definitely send someone to inquire about it the day after tomorrow at the latest. It will be good to meet again at that time."
Gongsun Ming did not take the threat from Zhang Yan's men to heart at all. Ten days ago, the reason why he was willing to let the main force of Yuan Shao's men leave safely was because he wanted to use Yuan Shao's threat to contain him. Zhang Yan was imprisoned so that he did not dare to launch an offensive without authorization. Now, because Cao Cao was interfering in the matter, the situation seemed to be more complicated, but in fact, it had become something that Gongsun Ming could take advantage of.
"Well, what my nephew said is true, so that's all for now."
Although Gongsun Fan did not have great wisdom, he was a person who had been in the officialdom for a long time. Even though his political IQ was not high, he still had some. Now, Gongsun Ming has explained the strangeness so clearly. He won't understand.
"Did Zilong think of Uncle Liu Huang again?"
Gongsun Ming kept Gongsun Fan, not to analyze the current situation with him, but because he had something to explain. But before that, he had one more thing to solve, which was to completely untie Zhao Yun's knot. .
"To be honest, my lord, Yun once met Liu Huangshu by chance and got along very well with each other. When the Yijing scandal broke out, Yun originally wanted to go to Xuzhou to find Liu Huangshu."
Upon hearing Gongsun Ming's question, Zhao Yun didn't hide much and expressed his thoughts frankly.
"Zilong, you..."
When Zhao Yun said this, Gongsun Ming was not unhappy at all. On the contrary, Gongsun Fan's face darkened instantly, and he was very dissatisfied and wanted to scold Zhao Yun.
"It's not surprising that Zilong has this idea. Uncle Liu Huang can be called a hero in the world. His ability is actually much higher than that of Yuan Benchu and others. If you can get the wind, it is not difficult to transform into a dragon. So, I have always admired this man's ambition, but it is a pity that time and fate have changed. Although Liu Huangshu has not changed his original intention despite many ups and downs, he is definitely not a person who can become a great person. Without him, Prime Minister Cao is far more talented than Liu Huangshu. Although he is now He is in Cao's camp and his heart is in Han. Sooner or later, he will surely look for opportunities again, but he will eventually be unable to defeat Prime Minister Cao's power. If Zilong joins him, he will suffer the hardship of being displaced, and it will all be a waste of time."
Gongsun Ming raised his hand to signal Gongsun Fan not to be rude, and then he sincerely explained in detail the reasons why Liu Bei would be defeated.
“……”
Hearing what Gongsun Ming said, Zhao Yun's eyes dimmed. Nothing could be further from the truth. Liu Bei has never really risen to prominence since he raised his army. Whenever he was at his peak, he was always defeated by Cao Cao. Until now. , and even had to devote himself to Cao Cao's command. He didn't look like he could win the world's wise master. Zhao Yun actually saw this, but he felt the kindness of knowing him, but he didn't want to agree with Liu Bei's fault. That’s all.
"Uncle Liu Huang has always been on good terms with his late father, and I should treat him as an uncle. However, it is absolutely impossible for him to abandon his confidants to him. Oh, I don't need to read his letter to know his intentions. There is no way It's just that he wants to have a friendship with a certain person and lay the groundwork for his future comeback. But he doesn't know that a certain person is also determined to be in the world. After careful study of all the heroes in the world, there are only three people who can stand up to a certain person. The rest are all selling out. His disciple."
In order to make Zhao Yun completely return to his heart, Gongsun Ming did not hesitate to express his determination to conquer the world. His words were full of pride, and he had the demeanor of a generation of heroes guiding the country.
"Three people? I wonder who the opponent the Lord has identified is?"
Although Zhao Yun had to serve under Gongsun Ming because he lost the bet, he never really thought about the possibility of Gongsun Ming's attempt to dominate the world. Now when he heard Gongsun Ming reveal his thoughts in this way, his curiosity suddenly aroused.
"Oh, the first one is naturally Cao Cao, who is called a Han official but is actually a traitor to the Han Dynasty. This person holds the emperor hostage to order the princes, and he also has the help of many talented people in Yingchuan. He can be called a powerful enemy; the second one is Uncle Liu Huang, who is ambitious but unlucky, will definitely take advantage of the situation when he competes with Cao Cao for supremacy. If he predicts correctly, the place of his rebellion will most likely be in Jingxiang. With this person's ability, it is not difficult to replace Liu Biao; as for the third one, he is the hero of Jiangdong. Well, that person has not yet emerged, but in the future, he will transform into a dragon and rise up. This person is Sun Cezhi My younger brother Sun Quan, among all the great heroes in the world, these three people can only slightly hinder the footsteps of someone who will determine the world, but they will eventually fall into disgrace!"
Seeing Zhao Yun's curiosity, Gongsun Ming immediately smiled and elaborated with his fingers on who the three heroes in his mind were.
