Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 258 Negotiations 1
It didn't take long for Gongsun Xu's big tent to become quiet again. The guards holding the halberds continued to stand guard. The place where the fight had just been fought was also cleaned up. From now on, it seemed as if nothing had happened.

Zhang Yan was escorted into the big tent by two soldiers. Gongsun Xu and the others were still looking at the map. They did not interrupt the military meeting on their side because of this episode, even after Zhang Yan had been escorted in, Gongsun Xu didn't even lift his head.

Gongsun Xu was still communicating with Guo Jia and Guan Yu, while the other people in the big tent stood aside. Zhang Yan thought about all possible situations and countermeasures before entering, and even thought that even if Gongsun Xu Zhang Yan had already figured out how to deal with the idea of ​​beheading him.

However, after walking in, Zhang Yan realized that he was wrong. Gongsun Xu actually left him aside and completely ignored his existence. Now, Zhang Yan was puzzled. Whether he was an assassin or a messenger, shouldn't Gongsun Xu Do you want to ask me a question?
As it is now, if Gongsun Xu doesn't ask, other people don't think Zhang Yan exists, Zhang Yan doesn't know what to do, why should he first ask the other party how to deal with him?

After a stick of incense passed like this, Zhang Yan felt that it was a waste of time to wait any longer, and Gongsun Xu and the others had no intention of talking to him at all, so Zhang Yan knelt on one knee and respectfully said: "General, villain There is an important letter to send."

Only then did Gongsun Xu stop what he was doing, and he sighed and replied, "Zhang Yan, Chu Feiyan, hehe, old acquaintances."

Seeing that Gongsun Xu didn't take what he said to heart, Zhang Yan emphasized again: "General, it's offensive for the villain to visit late at night, but the villain does have something urgent to report, and this matter is related to the safety of the northern border army. .”

Gongsun Xu turned around and went to the chair next to him to sit down, and then said to Shi A who was behind Zhang Yan: "Bring everything."

It turned out that Shi A found the letter and the jade pendant from Zhang Yan just now when he searched Zhang Yan's body. However, as Gongsun Xu's guards, the first thing Shi A and others have to do is to make sure that these two things are not dangerous. At least these two things must be guaranteed to be non-toxic, so just this time, Shi A has sent someone to identify whether these two things are harmful.

After Gongsun Xu issued the order, Shi Acai took the plate containing the letter and the jade pendant from a soldier beside him and went to Gongsun Xu to put it down. At this time, Guo Jia happened to see the jade pendant, and he said in surprise: "Huh? Jade pendant,,,,,,"

After finishing speaking, Guo Jia stepped forward to pick up the jade pendant to look at, while Gongsun Xu picked up the letter and looked at it. Zhang Yan could only kneel like this now. Gongsun Xu didn't speak, so he couldn't stand up.

After Gongsun Xu finished reading it, he murmured to himself, "Zhang Ning? I didn't expect that she was still alive. After so many years, Zhang Jiao has already passed away, alas."

Then, Gongsun Xu waved his hand, signaling to the two soldiers who were escorting Zhang Yan to untie Zhang Yan, and then Gongsun Xu asked Guo Jia next to him, "Feng Xiao, do you see something famous? How about this jade pendant?"

"A treasure that is unique in thousands of miles." Guo Jia put down the jade pendant and replied: "Whether it is material or workmanship, it can be said to be a rare treasure in time. Moreover, this is an ancient jade, and I am afraid it has a history of at least 600 years."

Gongsun Xu naturally understood the meaning contained in Guo Jia's comments. Guo Jia is an expert in antiques and the like, and he said so, so there must be nothing wrong.

At this time, Gongsun Xu's eyes also fell on this jade pendant. He still had an impression of this jade pendant. The inseparable jade pendant naturally attracted Gongsun Xu's attention.

This time, Zhang Yan personally delivered the letter and brought such a valuable token. Gongsun Xu believed most of what was said in the letter, but he still had to make sure.

"If you want to surrender, what are your conditions?" Gongsun Xu looked at Zhang Yan and asked.

After finally waiting for Gongsun Xu's words, Zhang Yan immediately replied respectfully: "Reporting to the General, my lady has a life. Regarding the details of surrender, I hope the General can discuss with my lady in person."

"Oh? He came down the mountain too?" Gongsun Xu asked.

"No, my young lady was poisoned by poison some time ago, and then suffered from a secret illness. She has been in a coma for several days, and she just woke up during the day today. Now let alone getting out of bed, she has to be waited on for food and water. How could she be with me? Go down the mountain." Zhang Yan said: "If the general has the sincerity to recruit us, I hope the general can go up the mountain with me."

"Presumptuous." Just after Zhang Yan finished speaking, Guan Yu snorted and said, "Did you not understand the current situation? Do you think you have the right to ask my lord to go up the mountain to discuss your surrender? Could it be that you thought I Does the Northern Border Army really not have the ability to conquer Montenegro?"

Zhang Yan was intimidated by Guan Yu's aura, and now he dare not speak. Although Zhang Yan felt that Guan Yu should not be underestimated as soon as he entered the account, what surprised Zhang Yan was that the aura released by Guan Yu when he was angry was so unexpected Strong, even if Zhang Yan claims to be the number one master of the Black Mountain Army, he feels a little out of breath now.

Just when Zhang Yan felt that Guan Yu's attack would be bad for him, Gongsun Xu dissuaded him: "Yun Chang, let him go."

As soon as the voice fell, Zhang Yan suddenly felt relaxed. Just a few moments ago, Zhang Yan felt that she was locked. This feeling was really terrifying.

Gongsun Xu stood up and went to Guan Yu's side and patted him on the shoulder, signaling him not to worry. Then, Gongsun Xu walked up to Zhang Yan and untied Zhang Yan himself. Then, Gongsun Xu put his right hand on Zhang Yan's shoulder and asked Said: "Could it be that you haven't considered the consequences of making this request?"

"It's just a death." Zhang Yan replied calmly: "The villain is willing to wait for the general here. If the general has the slightest accident, the villain is willing to die to apologize." "

"Dead?" Gongsun Xu said with a smile: "If something really happens, I'm afraid the million Black Mountain Army will disappear from now on."

"The villain understands, and naturally the villain will not joke about the lives of millions of people in Montenegro. Please, the general, put the army first." Zhang Yan knelt down and begged again.

Gongsun Xu touched his forehead, then walked back to his chair, and then, Gongsun Xu sighed: "Forget it, I'll just go with you."

As soon as Gongsun Xu finished speaking, Guan Yu and others immediately wanted to dissuade them, but Gongsun Xu waved his hand to signal not to speak too much. Then, Gongsun Xu said to Shi A: "Shi A, you will bring six guards to follow you. I'll go there."

Shi A knew that he couldn't persuade Gongsun Xu, and he didn't need to persuade him. His responsibility was to protect Gongsun Xu's safety. Now that Gongsun Xu asked him to lead a team of guards, Shi A of course nodded to indicate that there was no problem.

Then, Gongsun Xu looked at Zhang Yan and asked, "How? Should we go up the mountain at night or wait until tomorrow morning."

Zhang Yan was also very surprised that Gongsun Xu agreed to go up the mountain with him so easily. However, this was exactly what Zhang Yan expected. It is best to go up the mountain, so that you can avoid other people's eyes and ears, and if things go well, the general can come back before dawn."

Gongsun Xu nodded and replied: "Alright, let's do it like this, you wait for a while, I'll go down and change clothes."

After finishing speaking, Gongsun Xu walked out of the big tent, while Guo Jia and others stayed in the big tent. The others were very quiet, but Guo Jia seemed like a familiar person, so he chatted with Zhang Yan when he was free. , especially when talking about the situation in Zhang Yan's hometown Changshan Zhending, Zhang Yan also answered them one by one.

Not long after, Gongsun Xu also changed into night clothes and came in. He said to Guo Jia and Guan Yu, "Feng Xiao, Yun Chang, I will leave the matter here to you. I will go back as soon as I go."

Although Guan Yu had an anxious expression on his face, he also understood that he could not change what Gongsun Xu decided. Furthermore, with Gongsun Xu's skill and Shi A and others protecting him, it should not happen. What a problem.

Guo Jia was obviously much more relaxed. It seemed that Gongsun Xu was not going to any dangerous place. Then, after explaining some things, Gongsun Xu left with the others.

After Gongsun continued to leave, the cynical look in Guo Jia's eyes disappeared, and Guan Yu also realized something different. Just when Guan Yu was about to ask, Guo Jia said: "Yun Chang, go and gather the lord's five hundred guards. Let them go up the mountain to hide in batches along the traces left by the lord, no matter whether the Black Mountain Army surrenders or not, we must take down the Black Mountain Army tomorrow."

"Military division, this?" Guan Yu questioned.

"Hehe, do you think the lord is really the kind of person who doesn't know the importance?" Guo Jia smiled: "Just now the lord went to talk about changing clothes, don't you think it's a bit long? Hehe, the lord has already prepared, and he walked in just now He gave me a secret signal at that time, and I only found out just now.

The lord's [-] guards are all good at street fighting and assassination. Their presence will definitely guarantee the lord's safety. Moreover, if the surrender is not negotiated properly, then the leaders of the Black Mountain Army will suffer, haha. "

Guan Yu was shocked when he heard this and said, "This? Military division, could it be?"

"Yes, my lord and I have discussed it a long time ago. If we want to quickly eliminate the cancer of the Montenegro army, we must either burn all the millions of Montenegro troops to death. Or, assassinate most of the leaders of the Montenegro army, and the Montenegro army loses its commander. Why are you fighting us?" Guo Jia sneered and said, "Yun Chang, it's not that the lord is cruel, but that the lord cares too much about the people in Montenegro, and many of those refugee leaders are damned."

"No wonder, no wonder, my lord has been sending people to sneak into Montenegro for the past few days. I always thought they were sending people to recruit some of the enemy's troops." Guan Yu suddenly realized: "It seems that my lord should send people to investigate the terrain and find out what the Black Mountain army is. distribution, and then to take down all the leaders of the Black Mountain Army in one fell swoop. This move of the lord is really admirable."

Guo Jia nodded and replied: "It's an opportunity for Zhang Yan to go down the mountain. He should really want to surrender, but he can't guarantee the other leaders of the Black Mountain Army. My lord did this for the sake of the overall situation. Alright, Yun Chang, go and order Well, besides, our army has to prepare overnight, and prepare to storm Montenegro tomorrow morning."

"I understand." Guan Yu nodded and went down to work.
