"how do I say this?"
Hearing Guo Jia speak so confidently, Cao Cao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"So that Duke Ming will know that what Gongda said is true. That Gongsun son is very ambitious. He is not willing to be subordinate to others. He does not want to annex the Yuan family's territory. The one he fears is the Prime Minister. If our army moves first, he will We will definitely support the Yuan family, but if our army does not move, it will definitely defeat Guo Yuan's troops first in order to seek the land to merge with the state. In this case, we might as well let him completely turn against the Yuan family first."
Guo Jia obviously saw through Gongsun Ming's strategic intention. Although he did not say it clearly, the meaning in his words was very clear, that is, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and then take action. Two dogs fight, play off.
"Well, okay, let's just sit back and watch."
Cao Cao was a very human being, and he understood the wisdom of what Guo Jia said just after hearing it. In a flash of thought, he had a suspicion, but he did not say it out, but made a decision with twinkling eyes. In this regard, everyone The counselors would not have any objections. When they all praised each other, the matter was settled...
"Report, my lord, that an officer from Jizhou came to see you outside the camp gate in accordance with the rules. He said that he came to negotiate peace on the order of the general."
After Guo Yuan was defeated for a while, he calmed down and huddled in the camp for two days in a row, assuming a defensive posture. Gongsun Ming didn't care much about this, except for sending more reconnaissance sentries. Apart from exploring, there has been no provocative action. Every day, he and Pang Tong just deduce the possible changes in the war situation in front of the large sand table. Today, of course, they are no exception. They sat down again early in the morning. In front of the sand table, while walking away from the deduction room, he saw a military commander on duty hurriedly entering from outside the tent. He saluted Gongsun Ming and said something in a hurry.
"Oh? You didn't come too late, please."
Being inactive for two consecutive days doesn't mean that he can't move, nor that he can't move. It's just that he is fishing for a big fish. He is waiting for someone from Yecheng. Obviously, Fengji's arrival is undoubtedly playing into Gongsun Ming's wish.
"I met General Gongsun when he was engaged in discipline in Jizhou."
Although it was not the first time that he saw Gongsun Ming, Feng Ji couldn't help but feel a burst of inexplicable emotions in his heart when he saw Gongsun Ming's too young face, but he didn't dare to bring it to his face. Neng quickly rushed to the copywriter and bowed respectfully.
"You're welcome to meet me, come and see where you are seated."
Gongsun Ming's impression of Feng Ji was average. He didn't have any bad feelings, nor did he have much favorable impressions. Of course, everyone who came was a guest, and he had to be given the dignity he deserved.
"Thank you, General, for the seat. My lord is very worried when he heard that the general and Guo Yuan's troops were having some trouble. He specially came to mediate with me. Can I ask the general to make it easier?"
When he met Gongsun Ming for the first time in Yecheng the year before last, Feng Ji had a very high profile and did not bother to talk to Gongsun Ming on an equal footing. However, it had only been a year and a half, and the status of the two parties had been completely reversed. Feng Ji felt that It is inevitable to feel a little sad, but now the Yuan family is weak and Youzhou is strong. No matter how unwilling he is in his heart, Feng Ji can only put himself in the position of a subordinate, and his words are obviously full of flattery and flattery. .
"It's very unpleasant. Is your Jizhou bullying others too much? Hey, you actually treat me, Youzhou, as nothing. That's too much, that's too much!"
Even though Feng Ji was already humiliated, Gongsun Ming didn't respond at all, just smiled noncommittally, and Pang Tong, who was sitting beside him, mocked Feng Ji unceremoniously.
"I haven't asked you yet, but this is..."
Seeing Pang Tong's ugly face and interrupting him in a big way, Feng Ji couldn't help but frown. Seeing him sitting proudly beside Gongsun Ming, he didn't dare to take it too lightly, so he cautiously After trying out half of the words.
"So that Mr. Feng knows that this is Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan, the military advisers of a certain person. If Mr. Feng has anything to say, just talk to the military adviser. The military adviser's intention is that of a certain person. I still have some military affairs to take care of, so I won't accompany Mr. Feng. It’s public.”
Feng Ji just asked him casually, but he didn't expect that Gongsun Ming, after introducing Pang Tong solemnly, actually got up, left the scene without saying a word, and left without hesitation. As soon as the troops were sent out, Feng Jideng was dumbfounded. He wanted to stop them, but there was a huge difference in status between them. He didn't dare to say or do anything wanton. He could only watch in stunned silence as Gongsun Ming disappeared... …
"Feng Gong, how is the situation?"
The negotiations lasted for three days, and Guo Yuan suffered for three full days. Finally, when he returned at the right time, Guo Yuan couldn't hold it in any longer. The ground asked a question.
"Um……"
situation? Naturally, it wasn't very good. For the past three days, Feng Ji Yiyi had been dealing with Pang Tong endlessly, saying a lot of good and bad things. However, Pang Tong, a master who had no access to oil and salt, insisted that Changshan County's territory would not be allowed. He was willing to let go, but at this time, the Youzhou Army clearly had the upper hand, and Pang Tong's reasons were quite sufficient - half of Changshan County was originally owned by Zhang Yan, the Black Mountain Army. When Gongsun Ming annexed Zhang Yan's troops, Changshan More than half of the county's territory was already occupied by the Youzhou Army. Later, Chengjun's brazen attack on Changshan County forced the territory to be taken over. After that, the Youzhou Army did send several requests to Yuan. The Yuan family returned their home, but they were all given away by the Yuan family with all kinds of excuses. Now that the Youzhou side is insisting on taking it back, Feng Ji really can't come up with a very good reason to say "no", so he can only fight to the death and quibble. It's my share. In this situation, how can there be any good results?
"Damn you little thief, if you are so rude, I will send troops to kill that bitch right now!"
Guo Yuan always had a bad temper, but when he saw Feng Ji shaking his head and sighing, he immediately became angry. He slapped the copy and roared angrily.
"Nonsense, the war in Qingzhou is raging now, and there are even Cao thieves watching from the side. If the fierce battle with Gongsun Ming continues, the situation will be critical!"
Feng Ji had been holding back his anger at Pang Tong's place. When he saw Guo Yuan talking nonsense again, he was so angry that his eyes were filled with stars. With a straight face, he reprimanded Guo Yuan unceremoniously.
"You...hum!"
Guo Yuan thought to himself that he had a lot of troops at his disposal and was not under Feng Ji's status when it came to his status. How could he endure Feng Ji's scolding? He had some scruples about his identity as an "imperial envoy", and after snorting loudly, he walked out of the Chinese army's tent with a flourish of his sleeves...
