"Brother Junyi is a great talent in the world. It must be obvious that after Yuan Shao's defeat, it will be difficult for him to make any progress. He is depressed and his life is not long. If he dies, the two sons of the Yuan family will have a big dispute. With the constant attacks on each other, the defeat of the Yuan family is inevitable, and Hebei is in turmoil. The people of Li will only suffer. If Brother Junyi is involved in this, how should he deal with himself? "
Gongsun Ming was good at many things, but when it came to special skills, it was undoubtedly the magical skill of deception. No, while Zhang He was in a state of confusion, Gongsun Ming made another cruel revelation.
"Someone, someone..."
As a mid-level and senior general in Jizhou, although Zhang He never participated in the disputes between the two sons of the Yuan family, he could not understand that the conflict between Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan had already reached an irreconcilable point. Yuan Shao died, and the situation of the two sons fighting endlessly was probably unavoidable. Putting himself in his shoes, Zhang He was at a loss and had no idea whether his loyalty to the Yuan family was right or wrong.
"Nowadays, the world is in a state of separatism, and the situation of disputes between heroes has become clear. North of the river, there is no one else who can compete with Cao Cao's thieves except a certain person. If Brother Junyi is not willing to follow the trend, who can be chosen? It's just a certain person and the Cao thief. Compared with the powerful generals under the Cao thief, a certain person is indeed a little weaker at the moment. However, only because of this, brother Junyi has no shortage of opportunities to make contributions, even Wanhuhou. It’s not difficult, but where to go, please leave it to Brother Junyi to choose.”
Although Gongsun Ming was thirsty for talents, he did not force Zhang He to be loyal, but patiently analyzed the current situation for him, and finally handed the decision-making power to Zhang He.
"Is it possible for a general to be more confident than Prime Minister Cao?"
Although Zhang He is considered a smart person, he can't stand up to Gongsun Ming's magical skill of deception. At this point, his earlier insistence on loyalty to the Yuan family has basically come to an end. What he is thinking now is that Gongsun Ming has unknowingly been cheating him. Mingguai brought up the question of who to serve.
"Someone will win!"
When it was time to be humble, Gongsun Ming was more humble than anyone else, but when it was time to be arrogant, Gongsun Ming was equally arrogant. On the question of who could win, Gongsun Ming did not hesitate at all. As soon as Zhang He finished speaking, he said The answer was given categorically.
"Oh, how come you see it?"
Zhang He didn't know much about the specific conditions of You and Bo. He only heard from past business travelers that the two places were developing quite vigorously, the people's burden was light, and the people's evaluation of Gongsun Ming was quite high. In addition, he knew that the two places were very prosperous. He had no idea what Gongsun Ming's military power was, but no matter what, he didn't think that Gongsun Ming's strength could expand enough to compete with Cao Cao in just one year. Because of this, this time Hearing Gongsun Ming's bold words there, Zhang He's first reaction was that Gongsun Ming was just boasting.
"The Cao thief is in the light and the other is in the dark. This is one of the advantages. Secondly, the Cao thief is located in the Central Plains. He seems to be extremely powerful, but in fact he is in a land of hundreds of battles. There is no appeasement around him. In addition, the land is barren and the people are poor. , If he cannot fight for a long time, as long as he is not given the possibility of annexing the Yuan family, his method of supporting war with war will undoubtedly lead to self-defeat. Thirdly, a certain person has his own way of getting rich. Not to mention more, the resources he has accumulated at the moment far exceed the imagination of the world. Let me tell Brother Junyi a secret. Let’s not talk about other things. He has accumulated more than 100,000 stones since last year. But given three or five years, he can turn his wealth into combat power. With Hebei, If you are strong, what is the difficulty in defeating the Cao?"
Gongsun Ming thinks that the biggest reason why he can defeat Cao Cao is that he has five thousand years of cultural heritage. However, this is his biggest secret, and it cannot be explained to outsiders. Of course, when it comes to analyzing the advantages and disadvantages, Gongsun Ming is the best. There is no shortage of them, and I can write a huge article casually.
"The general has such confidence, Zhang admires it, but..."
Zhang He was completely fooled by Gongsun Ming. Although he wanted to refute Gongsun Ming's argument, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that everything Gongsun Ming said was supported by evidence. He was not just talking nonsense. Even if he wanted to refute it, there was no way to refute it. He really felt loyal in his heart, but when he thought that his family members were still in Yecheng, Zhang He didn't dare to say his words of loyalty.
"Brother Junyi, are you worried about your family? Oh, don't worry, I have already made arrangements. Not only the general's family, but also Zihuan's family are on their way. They can arrive in Lecheng tomorrow at the latest."
Although Zhang He didn't say what was on his mind, Gongsun Ming knew it at a glance and didn't hide much. He smiled and told the truth.
"My lord loves me so much, He, I am willing to do my best for my lord."
Zhang He was surprised that all the family members had fallen into the hands of Gongsun Ming. The last trace of worry in his heart was gone. In addition, he had already been impressed by Gongsun Ming's skill and ability, so he no longer held back. His head fell down on the mat.
"Haha... Okay, I will win Brother Junyi just like Gaozu got Han Xin. However, I am not Gaozu after all, so I will never let Brother Junyi suffer any injustice. If I violate this, I will fall into hell forever!"
Hearing Zhang He call him lord, Gongsun Ming burst into laughter with excitement. While reaching out to help Zhang He, he uttered a big curse with excitement.
"Lord..."
Hearing that Gongsun Ming actually gave him such a high evaluation, Zhang He felt a great sense of appreciation in his heart. He was so excited that he choked up and couldn't even speak a complete sentence...
"Damn it, Gongsun kid bullied someone too much, Zhang He is a thief, I will not let you go!"
Although Zhang He had been dismissed from his post, he was still an important general in the army. His disappearance was no small matter. When Yuan Shang, who was staying in Yecheng, heard the news that he was missing, he immediately sent people to his house to check. Shocked to realize that Zhang He's family had already disappeared, he panicked and ordered everyone to search more quickly. After working hard for several days, an urgent report was sent back to someone hiding in Youzhou, saying that Zhang He had been dismissed from his post. After that, he surrendered to Gongsun Ming. Since the matter was serious, Yuan Shang did not dare to take charge, so he immediately sent someone to report to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shaodang, who was already agitated due to the unsatisfactory war, was so angry that he trembled all over. He actually launched a thunderous fury in the Chinese army's tent.
"My lord, I am aware that there are a lot of things fishy about this matter, so we should investigate it in detail."
Yuan Shao's temper has been getting worse and worse lately. Whenever he gets angry, he always tries to do something to the people around him. Therefore, he has punished many of his followers. Now seeing him getting angry again, all the confidants, civil and military officials, can't help but feel angry. His scalp was numb because of this, and he was silent as a cicada when he saw Guo Tu suddenly flash out from the side and gave an admonishment in a loud voice.
"Um?"
Upon hearing Guo Tu's strange words, Yuan Shao's bloodshot eyes immediately widened, and murderous intent overflowed from his body, as if he looked like a man-eating demon...
