Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1281 The words that must be said
After arriving in Pingyang and meeting Zaozhi in a hurry, Yang Xiu waited with Xu You in the posthouse for Fei Qian's summoning.

General Zhengxi is busy.

Even though Yang Xiu could more or less know that this was just an excuse for General Zhengxi, a trick to frustrate himself, he could only pinch his nose helplessly and admit it, but now...

At first, the Pingyang post house only had two courtyards, the east and the west, which were originally quite spacious and sufficient, but Yang Xiu occupied one, and after Xu You occupied the other, the envoys of General Pingdong could only live in the outer courtyard. As a result, there was a new one yesterday, Wen Hou Lu Bu's...

Last night, Yang Xiu couldn't sleep well, for fear that someone would turn over the wall in the middle of the night.Frightened and terrified, he clutched at his neckline and struggled in a daze all night. Finally, until dawn, the huge black circle couldn't even cover the powder, so he could only force himself to be calm, and still put on a calm face. He greeted Xu You with a calm appearance, and then stared at the courtyard gate eagerly, hoping that General Fei Qian of Zhengxi would summon him soon so that the journey could end.

Xu You, who was on the opposite side of the yard, saw Yang Xiu stretching his neck to look around every hour or so, and couldn't help lowering his eyes and giggling a few times.Xu You also heard about what happened outside the post house yesterday, and he also found it very interesting, but it was interesting, and Xu You didn't have any idea to stand up for Yang Xiu.The Yang family is already the old days of yesterday, and there is no benefit to be reaped. It is only because General Zhengxi dives here that he is called really fat...

Xu Youba smacked his lips.Originally, he thought that Zheng Xifei would be rich, but he didn't expect that he was so fat!If I can't take advantage of this opportunity to make a good profit, I'm afraid I will regret it in the second half of my life.So Xu You was not in a hurry, thinking about how to take advantage of the current situation to get more fat from Zheng Xifei's potential is the right way.

"Come here..." Xu You said slowly, "Let's just say that XX is unwell today and doesn't see any outsiders... Well, you can leave the list of famous assassins, and wait for XX to read it, and then make a decision tomorrow..."

Xu You looked at the gloomy sky, and after using up his morning breasts, he flung his sleeves and went back to sleep.

Xu You became less anxious, which made Yang Xiu even more restless.This anxiety also unknowingly spread in Yang Xiu's small courtyard, affecting other Yang's entourage.

Yang Xiu couldn't sleep, so naturally these followers couldn't sleep either, they waited with Yang Xiu on the porch in front of the courtyard.

It was freezing cold, the post station soldiers saw this, and helped to bring a lot of braziers, so that these Yang's soldiers could be more or less warmed by the fire, so that they could last longer.

Yang Xiu's personal guards are basically the important tasks of the Yang family for many years. If he talks seriously with Yang Xiu, he may have some relationship with the seven aunts and eight aunts. There was a lot of discussion in one place.No one knows what will happen in the future, and there are all kinds of speculations, just spread around in this small yard.

Seeing that the sun was sinking to the west, seeing that there was still no movement on the street, and there was no news, even the charcoal in the brazier for heating had been burned, and the postman hurriedly sent someone to the warehouse to collect it. It couldn't be delivered for a while, so I had no choice but to extinguish the brazier first, and wait for the charcoal to arrive.

These members of the Yang family who have been discussing for a whole day, the energy of being nervous or anxious has passed, and the energy of Zaofu has long been exhausted, and the charcoal of the brazier has been broken again. His feet were jumping up and down with the cold.

"Hey! You damn postman, why don't you go to the charcoal earlier, if there is no brazier in the middle of the night, you won't even be able to drink hot soup, and your teeth will freeze off!"

"Don't say it's the postman's fault. Looking at so many braziers, it's inevitable to use them too hard. Haven't you already gone to get them? What can you do in a hurry..."

"It's not that I'm impatient. It's reasonable to say that Pingyang has been there for three or five days, and now it's the situation. I don't expect to have anything to eat, drink, and enjoy myself, but at least I can't keep hanging around like this? Zhengxi is too stingy." Some, the daily ration of food and grass is not enough to fit between the teeth, so people can only buy it. This food and drink cost is also a lot every day. How can Hongnong go to Hongnong after a long time? You have to go back with food all the way? Ah? !"

"Oh shit, it's all in this situation, just be more down-to-earth. You kid, calm down, don't just provoke, you will be willing to make some troubles when the time comes?!"

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Don't make a fuss! No matter how loud you are, you'll be thrown out of the courtyard!" A non-commissioned officer who looked like a team leader said.

"Let's go, let's go!"

In the courtyard, the noise in the corridor under the hall also reached Yang Xiu's ears, and he couldn't sit still in the lobby anymore, he turned around with his hands behind his back, and countless thoughts rolled in his mind.

Why is there still no movement?
It's difficult for this guy Zhengxi to count on my family and that guy Lu Bu to die?
Impossible, if this is the case, Zhengxi should conceal the matter of Lu Bu's envoy, so that I can take it lightly. It is the right way, and he will definitely not openly put Lu Bu's envoy in front of me like this...

So is this threatening the Yang family?

Or do you want to reap the benefits of fishing nets?
If that's the case, why don't you learn from Ban Dingyuan?

Yang Xiu glanced at the wall, and then looked at his slender and delicate hands. It was impossible to say that there were no calluses, but it was a little bit on the side of the middle finger, which came out of holding the brush.

Yang Xiu didn't want to show weakness to Lv Bu's envoys, and he didn't have much of a bachelor's mind. Although he can be resourceful when planning others, and he is also full of energy when speaking scriptures, but when his family is facing a life-and-death decision, Yang Xiu may not have the extraordinary courage to take action...

....................................

"Feng Xiao, you haven't changed your name yet? Don't you know Mr. Cao?" On the Pingyang Festival Hall, Fei Qian pointed to the brazier in the hall and asked the guards to move to Guo Jia's side.

Long distance and close attack.

Pre-Qin has proved that such a diplomatic strategy is extremely excellent, so Fei Qian naturally summoned Guo Jia, the farthest envoy of General Pingdong, according to the division of regions.

Although Guo Jia is difficult to deal with, compared with the other three, the conflict of interests must be the smallest, and it is also the easiest to reach some common agreements.

"... General, this wine is wonderful..." Guo Jia gulped down another bowl of wine, "Of course Mr. Cao knows the name of XX... But, you can't change it, you can't change it... If you change it... , not to mention anything else, just this trip... Hehe, the Patriarch of the Guo family is still in Jizhou..."

The banquet is not considered luxurious, but it is also considered rich. There are no delicacies and delicacies. It is nothing more than big fish and meat that are common in the north, but the wine is indeed good. It is brewed with corn and warmed on a small red clay stove. Guo Jia liked it very much, and drank another bowl after another.

Guo Jia put down the wine bowl, blushed slightly, and said: "The general puts Yang Lu together, so you are not afraid that the two of them will fight?"

Fei Qian laughed and said, "It's hard not to put them together, so the two of them won't fight?"

"Haha, that's true..." Guo Jia raised his head and smiled, and then said, "However, even if Marquis Wen becomes the ruler of Luoyang, sooner or later he will be defeated..."

"Yeah, it's a game of defeat, but who is willing to lose?" Fei Qian said while cutting a piece of roasted lamb leg with a knife, "Tater Yinwu, fight against Jingchu. Go deep into its obstacles, Journey to Jing. There is the thread of Tang and Sun. Who is Yin Wu, and who is Jing Chu?"

Guo Jia straightened his back suddenly, staring at Fei Qian, a lot of sweat broke out on his head instantly.

"Hmm... what's wrong?" Fei Qian muttered as he threw the mutton into his mouth.

Guo Jia pretended to wipe his sweat inadvertently, and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I drank good wine, and I feel comfortable..." Although he said this, Guo Jia felt a little uneasy in his heart, and Zhengxi couldn't guess what?
While drinking, Guo Jia carefully observed Fei Qian's expression again, wondering if it was just a coincidence that "Jingchu" was mentioned just now?
Must be a coincidence.

It is absolutely impossible for General Zhengxi to have any supernatural powers. If he really did, Guo Jia would simply go back and persuade Cao Cao not to play. Others have seen all the cards clearly. How can such a game be played?
Gathering his mind, he didn't wait for Guo Jia to put down the wine bowl when he heard Fei Qian throw out another sentence without looking up: "How about it, when will Duke Cao send troops?"

"Pfft! Cough! Cough cough..." Guo Jia spit out the drink in his mouth, without choking on it, turned his head to look at Fei Qian, "General... how did the general know?"

Fei Qian cut another piece of mutton, then put down the knife, and said, "Because Feng Xiao is here... Isn't it obvious?"

"Huh?" Guo Jia was dumb, before shaking his head for a while, and said, "Actually, the general didn't know at first, did he?"

"You can also say that..." Fei Qian did not deny it.

"Huh..." Guo Jia exhaled and said, "Then, what do you think the general wants?" It's okay, it's okay, this is within Guo Jia's acceptable range, but in his mind, The evaluation and danger level of Fei Qian couldn't help but increase by several orders of magnitude.

Fei Qian waved his hand and said, "Words are not important, what is important is strength, right?"

"Uh, yes." Guo Jia asked directly, "Then what does the general need?"

Fei Qian pondered, motioning Guo Jia to eat and drink first.

Guo Jia nodded without urging him, and when he saw Fei Qian hesitated, he felt a little relieved.Just now, he was basically being led by the nose by Zhengxi General Fei Qian, which made Guo Jia very uncomfortable, and now he simply put it on the surface and said that Fang moved back a little.

In fact, Fei Qian is not as powerful as Guo Jia imagined, it is just some of Fei Qian's own judgments plus specious words...

Guo Jia ran over from Yanzhou. He definitely didn't want to express his condolences to Cai Yong as he said on the surface, or express his love to the Hedong Wei family. These are not very big things, but they are just used To cover up its true purpose.Judging from Cao Cao's current situation, combined with Cao Cao's actions in history, Fei Qian can basically guess that Cao Cao is going to fight a wave.

the reason is simple.

Cao Cao had to fight, otherwise there would be no way out, and sooner or later he would be trapped to death in Yanzhou.It is obviously unrealistic to fight north, and it is unlikely to fight west.

To the west of Cao Cao is Lu Bu and Heluo, plus Lu Bu has just declared in a high-profile way that he wants to help the country and let the emperor be in charge of the government, and so on, and then Cao Cao followed to attack Lu Bu. Is it the same today?
So even if there is any conflict between Cao Cao and Lu Bu that has not been resolved, it can only be put aside for the time being, and we can talk about it after this wave has passed.

Fei Qian absolutely did not believe that Cao Cao had the guts and strength to challenge Yuan Shao at this stage, so Cao Cao had only two directions left, either go east to fight Xuzhou, or go south to fight Yuzhou.Xuzhou, everyone knows that there is a soft persimmon. Yuzhou is mainly Yuan Shu's main force who has gone to the south line. It is at the moment of emptiness. Whether it is to fight Xuzhou or Yuzhou, Cao Cao is worried that his old nest will be ransacked, so Fei Qian, who has some relations with Lu Bu and Jingzhou, has become the best battlefield coordinator.As long as an agreement is reached, Cao Cao can at least rest assured that his hometown will not be copied by someone just after sending troops from Yanzhou.Cao Cao certainly didn't want to experience the pain of the Yanzhou rebellion a second time.

"One, Wancheng..." Fei Qian tapped lightly on the table.

Guo Jia rolled his eyes and said, "If Mr. Cao goes to Wancheng, he can deliver..." Wancheng is now in Yuan Shu's hands, and Liu Biao is also eager to get it back, so Guo Jia's subtext is also obvious, anyway Wancheng There are also people from Jingxiang in the area. If you want a better Wancheng or a dilapidated Wancheng, it depends on how Feiqian and Jingxiang communicate.As for who to hand over to, Guo Jia and Cao Cao don't care, you Zhengxi and Liu Biao can discuss it by themselves.

Guo Jia was really worried that Fei Qian was only verbally agreeing and not seeking some actual benefits, because only when people want to see the real things, can they really do this thing seriously.

Fei Qian nodded slightly, and said, "Secondly, caravans." Cao Cao naturally needs weapons, food and grass to fight wars, and Fei Qian needs gold, silver and copper to promote Tongbao. Speaking of it, many red-eyed soldiers will be difficult to control. If there are no strict restrictions, the danger of the caravan will be very great.

"Caravan?" Guo Jia asked back.

Fei Qian nodded in confirmation.

Guo Jia patted his chest and said, "No problem! As long as all the caravans marching to the west are law-abiding, under Cao Gong's rule, they can pass without hindrance!"

Fei Qian ignored Guo Jia's back door buried in his words, because Fei Qian also knew that no matter what it was, there was a honeymoon period. Qian raised his third finger and said, "The last one is Tongbao. In Duke Cao's territory, Tongbao cannot be rejected for any reason."

Fei Qian asked someone to bring some Tongbao to Guo Jia.

Guo Jiazai inspected it carefully, frowned and checked the texture of the Tongbao, and said: "If the general's Tongbao is of the same quality, Mr. Cao has no reason to refuse." Guo Jia is not very economical, But Tongbao made of such material, presumably Zhengxi didn't make much money?But since Zhengxi proposed it, it doesn't matter if he agrees.

"Good!" Fei Qian raised his wine bowl and signaled to Guo Jia.These things will naturally be taken over by Xun Chenhui, and then the relevant provisions will be formulated, and then the blood will be used to make a formal alliance and brought back to Guo Jia.Of course, this kind of treaty has always been valid when it is approved, and invalid when it is turned against. As for how long it will last, no one knows.

Guo Jia was naturally overjoyed. After completing most of the goals, he naturally relaxed a lot. He picked up the wine bowl and signaled to Fei Qian. Break up with Yuan Gong?"

"Pfft..." Guo Jia spit out the wine again...
