Two days passed quickly, and the confrontation between the two armies remained unchanged. Even if he had the advantage in strategic terms, Gongsun Ming was never in a hurry to launch an offensive. He seemed to be really waiting for Yuan Shao to come up with a compromise. The answer was average, but on the other hand, the Jizhou side had begun full-scale mobilization. A large number of strong people were forcibly recruited into the army. The garrison generals in each city were repairing the city defenses to prevent the Youzhou army from suddenly attacking in large numbers.
"Report. My lord, someone working in Jizhou is asking for an audience outside the camp as per the rules."
When they found out that Jizhou was fully mobilized, the generals of the Youzhou Army were a little unsteady. There were indeed many people who asked for war, but Gongsun Ming didn't take it seriously at all. Not only did he not order an attack, On the contrary, he talked with Pang Tong leisurely. No, early in the morning, they played chess again. When the chess reached the middle game, they saw a captain on duty striding in from outside the tent and heading toward Gongsun. Ming bowed and reported quickly.
"Oh, when the person who pretended to surrender is here, I won't see him anymore. The military advisor can just go and deal with it on his own. After an agreement is reached, I will just wait with him for a while."
There was no need to listen to his words and observe his actions. Gongsun Ming had already figured out the true intention of Feng Ji's coming. He didn't take it personally and gave an order with a smile.
"good."
The opinions that should be exchanged had been exchanged a few days ago. At this moment, Pang Tong naturally didn't talk nonsense. He smiled and nodded, then stood up, shook his wide sleeves, and said Shiran Then he walked to the camp gate.
"Ling Feng, go and summon Zilong, Zihuan, Yinming, and Zhongnan immediately."
After Pang Tong left, Gongsun Ming didn't hesitate at all. He raised his hand and issued the general's order in a cold voice.
"I will wait to see you, my lord!"
Since Gongsun Ming had the order, Ling Feng did not dare to delay at all, so he immediately obeyed and left. After a while, he saw Zhao Yun and others rushing to the Chinese army's tent together.
"Forgive me, everyone, if someone's predictions are correct, Guo Yuan will definitely come to rob the camp tonight!"
Facing the greetings of the generals, Gongsun Ming did not say any pleasantries. As soon as he opened his mouth, he made a judgment that made the generals' hearts beat wildly.
"What a good thief, how dare you play a conspiracy? Damn it, my lord, just give the order. The general will wait until the gang of thieves come back!"
Upon hearing what Gongsun Ming said, all the generals were stunned. In the end, Gao Lan reacted the fastest and was the first to scold him.
"Zihuan is right, a group of thieves dare to play dirty tricks in front of the Lord, they really don't know whether to live or die!"
"My lord, since the thief is seeking his own death, why can't we help him?"
With Gao Lan taking the lead, brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang were not to be outdone, and started shouting together. Only Zhao Yunshang remained calm, but his eyes clearly showed a sense of eagerness to try.
"There are plenty of battles for you to fight. Tonight..."
Gongsun Ming was very pleased with the generals' enthusiastic invitation to fight, but he did not express much praise. He simply laid out the tactical arrangements that he and Pang Tong had prepared for many days...
"My lord, as you expected, the guy has been messing around for a long time. He has lost his temper, but he made another request, saying that if he can't negotiate with the lord face to face, he might not be able to win people's trust."
It was half past the time of the announcement, and all the preparations were in place. There was no need for the general Gongsun Ming to worry about it anymore. He was happy to take some time off. He woke up at noon, holding a copy of "The Book of Mountains and Seas" in his hand, and read it without a glance. , Quan was enjoying his time, and when he was at ease, he saw Pang Tong slowly coming in from the outside, and reported something with a smile.
"Oh? Well, I'll just go and meet him for a while."
Gongsun Mingzheng was very bored. Hearing what Pang Tong said, he couldn't help but laugh. He threw the book on the table, shook his sleeves, got up, talked and laughed with Pang Tong, and went there. Went outside the tent.
"I've met General Gongsun."
In the spacious tent, Ji Zheng was restless when he suddenly saw Gongsun Ming and Pang Tong coming hand in hand. His eyes immediately lit up and he hurried forward to greet them, bowing respectfully.
"I'm sorry, please sit down and talk."
Gongsun Ming was obviously in a good mood, and there was obvious joy in his words.
"Thank you, General, for the seat."
Seeing Gongsun Ming acting so kindly, Feng Ji sneered in his heart, but what he showed was extremely humble.
"I have been busy with military affairs these past few days and have not been able to spare my time. If I have been negligent, please forgive me."
Gongsun Ming obviously took advantage of Feng Ji's attitude. After they sat down, Gongsun Ming's tone became more affectionate.
"I don't dare, I don't dare. I have discussed the situation with Brother Shi Yuan several times over the past few days and we have reached a consensus. It's just that the matter is so important that we have to ask the general to make the decision."
Feng Ji was obviously thinking about the night raid, but he really didn't want to exchange pleasantries. After saying a polite word, he quickly turned to the main topic.
"Oh? Have you reached a consensus? This is a good thing. How about you come and listen to it when you are in public?"
Life is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills. In this aspect, Gongsun Ming is undoubtedly a good actor. Not only his eyes are twinkling, but his reserved demeanor is also very lifelike, without any flaws.
"So that the general will know that Feng Mou has asked the general for instructions on the misunderstanding between you and us a few days ago. The general is deeply worried about this and has given Feng a strict order to severely punish the perpetrators of provoking the war, no matter what. Whoever is involved must be investigated to the end. The general must not be wronged. As for the ownership of Changshan County, the general and the general belong to Weng's son-in-law. They are both family members. It hurts feelings to care too much. Otherwise, let's just go our separate ways. Just take a step back, I wonder what the general thinks is okay?"
Even though he was pretending to be subdued, Feng Ji was not willing to lose his temper by being suppressed by Gongsun Ming. Even if he had to bite the bullet, he would still give it a final try.
"Well, this makes sense. Mr. Yuan is my Mount Tai. Nowadays, there are many disputes in Ji and Qingzhou, and appeasement is worrying. As the son-in-law, I should share the worries of Mr. Yuan. The appeasement of Changshan County is left to me. I've taken care of it now, don't worry, I won't let Changshan County become corrupt."
Seeing that Fengji was planning to put up a desperate struggle, Gongsun Ming couldn't help but secretly laugh in his heart, but the words that came out of his mouth showed that he had no intention of giving in at all.
"this……"
Upon hearing Gongsun Ming's shameless remarks, Feng Jideng was dumbfounded and didn't know how to proceed.
"Huh? Why, Feng Gong can't trust a certain person?"
Before Feng Ji could explain what was going on, Gongsun Ming's face drooped and he let out a rude cry, full of impatience...
