Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 383 Emergency Measures 2
It was a peaceful night, Han Fu knew that Guo Jia and others had stayed in the inn, but he didn't care about it.Because he had a bad impression of Guo Jia and his party before, so until now, he has not been very interested in Guo Jia and his party.

In addition, Guo Jia and his party put themselves together as soon as they entered the city, which made the face-saving Han Fu very angry.You know, although Han Fu doesn't like Guo Jia and his group, but due to the affection of Gongsun and his son and the majesty of Liu Bian, he still held a reception banquet at his own mansion, and invited all the big families in Yecheng. Patriarch to accompany.

Even though Yuan Shao's emissary was upset by this incident, Han Fu still bit the bullet and did it anyway. Since he took over Jizhou, the father and son of Beijiang have never treated him badly, nor have they treated him badly. With good intentions.

On the contrary, it was the Gongsun family and his son who guarded the northern border that made Jizhou enjoy peace. It was also because of Gongsun Xu's surprise army that the Yellow Turban Rebellion failed to wipe out the wealthy Jizhou. Corruption, for this, Han Fu still agrees in his heart.

Han Fu is a bit rigid in his life and work. The Yuan family treats him well, so he must repay the Yuan family. Therefore, for Yuan Shao, he provides money and food, and even helps Yuan Shao buy horses from Gongsun Xu. and weapons and armor.

But Gongsun Xu also has the meaning to help him, so Han Fu saves a lot of money and food from Jizhou's income every year to donate to the Northern Army to help the Northern Army fight against foreign enemies and protect the Han territory and Han people.

However, Han Fu is only a master in internal affairs. If he is playing politics and conspiracy, he is really not Yuan Shao's opponent. Moreover, Gongsun Xu himself is not a good person. The water is flat, which is almost impossible.

Although annoyed by Guo Jia's presumptuous behavior, Han Fu finally held back his anger. After sending away the invited patriarchs of the big families, Han Fu just cursed a few words in front of his subordinates. Yes, Han Fu didn't do anything, it's a matter of face, if you lose it, you lose it, you can't go to Guo Jia and the others now to get it back.

Although Guo Tu tried again and again to encourage Han Fu to find trouble with Guo Jia and the others, but he failed in the end.But when Han Fu, who was always gentle and refined, yelled at Guo Jia and the others, Guo Tu laughed inwardly.

However, there is no shortage of smart people around Han Fu, but Xun Chen and Xin Ping are worried at this time. Of course they all understand Guo Tu's small actions, but they have to agree with Guo Tu's behavior.

In any case, Han Fu has already affected the interests of the local aristocratic families in Jizhou. On the contrary, if Yuan Shao can live in Jizhou, he will be brought more benefits by the local aristocratic families in Jizhou. After all, this is what they abandoned The real reason for Han Fu.

However, the reason for their worry lies with Guo Jia. They don’t know much about Gongsun Xu. Refugees, those who recruited millions of Black Mountain troops, how can they underestimate them.

Guo Jia is the envoy appointed by Gongsun Xu. They don't know much about Guo Jia, but they believe that Gongsun Xu will not entrust such an important matter to a person with mediocre ability. Therefore, they are sure that this Guo Jia must be a Difficult character, but the problem is that they haven't seen Guo Jia's difficulty until now.

The night was peaceful and peaceful, and everyone spent this peaceful night with their own thoughts.In the early morning of the next day, Yecheng seemed to be not at peace. The aristocratic family was fine, but the common people in Yecheng were spreading the news that Han Fu, the lord of Jizhou, was going to proclaim himself king.

There are many versions of these rumors, and the people in Ye City all speak clearly and honestly. The servants of the aristocratic families naturally heard these things when they went out to do business. Since ancient times, public opinion has been a terrible force. The so-called three people make a tiger This is the reason, when all the people in Ye City are spreading the rumors about this matter, the truth of this matter is no longer important.

At noon, these rumors were already raging in Ye City. At this time, Han Fu was walking up and down in the hall. He already knew about the rumors in the city. I understand, how can I get into so much trouble when I am doing well.

Not long after, Guo Tu, Xun Chen, Xin Ping and others all came to Han Fu's residence, and after everyone had arrived, Han Fu asked, "Tell me, what's going on, and who did it?" ?”

Guo Tu rushed out immediately and said: "My lord, this matter must have been done by Guo Jia, the envoy sent by Gongsun Xu. Why don't I lead people to arrest them now, as long as the source of this rumor is gone, this rumor will naturally be destroyed. disappear."

"No." As soon as Guo Tu stopped, Xun Chen and Xin Ping immediately jumped up and said, "My lord, absolutely not, if my lord really does this, then we will completely stand with that guy from Beijiang." The opposite."

After hearing this, Han Fu felt a little dissatisfied. Xun Chen and Xin Ping's words were indeed correct, but if they said it like this, it would be slapping Han Fu in the face, even if Han Fu was indeed a little afraid of Gongsun Xu , but this does not mean that Han Fu will be humble to Gongsun Xu, let alone an envoy sent by Gongsun Xu.

Seeing that Han Fu's complexion was not good, Xun Chen further explained: "My lord, I know that besides the rumors about your rebellion, there are many other rumors that are not good for you. My lord, this matter is not that simple."

"Hmph, tell me, what other rumors are there?"

"There are rumors that the lord sent someone to ambush the envoys of Northern Xinjiang, and caused huge losses to the envoys of northern Xinjiang. Many people in the city are spreading rumors that this is a reminder from the lord to the general Gongsun Xu. Some people even say that the lord did this to Let His Majesty weigh his weight.

This is not the worst. It is reported that Guo Jia has sent many times for help to His Majesty, the current Taiwei and the general before entering the city, and Guan Yu, the northern general who guards Zhongshan and Changshan, is already dispatching troops to meet Guo. Jia and others, my lord, these news are also not good for you. "

"It's nonsense, hum, nonsense, it's all done by villains. I, Han Fu, have been loyal to the country all my life. How could I do such rebellious things? This is a villain's slander for me."

"My lord, regardless of who spread the news, my lord should understand that the envoys from Northern Xinjiang were indeed ambushed on the way, and Master Guo Tu also led people to stop them. I'm afraid we won't be able to tell.

After all, Master Guo Tu led the five thousand troops out of the city with great fanfare. Many people saw the army leaving the city with their own eyes. Moreover, when Master Guo Tu led the people out of the city, he made a big announcement that he would let the envoys from Northern Xinjiang come and go. , My lord, this is tantamount to confirming our notoriety of ambushing envoys from northern Xinjiang.

I know that my lord will not be afraid of Yu Gongsunxu and others, but this Guo Jia is, after all, an envoy sent by His Majesty.Furthermore, Gongsun Xu is extremely defensive. If he really knows what happened to the Northern Xinjiang envoy on our territory, it may arouse his anger. "

After Xin Ping finished speaking, he could take a look at Guo Tu and continue: "Furthermore, my lord, I have something I have to say. Have you ever thought about it, from the very beginning, the envoys from Northern Xinjiang didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards us?" , the general has treated us with courtesy all these years.

If it weren't for the Black Mountain army's invasion of the country, the general would not have put aside the Northern Expedition and led the army back to help. After all, the general and the Northern Xinjiang army don't seem to have anything wrong with us.Moreover, my lord, who spread the rumors this time may need to be thoroughly investigated. "

Han Fu noticed Xin Ping's eyes, and he also turned his head to look at Guo Tu at this time. After Xun Chen and Xin Ping's explanation, he also felt a little suspicious.It stands to reason that if the envoys from Northern Xinjiang are on their side, there is absolutely no need for them to deliberately cause conflicts with themselves.

Furthermore, as Xin Ping said, the Beijiang Army and Gongsun Xu really have nothing to do with their side these years. The last time the Black Mountain Army violated the border, if it weren’t for Gongsun and his son who led the army to stop and kill them in time, I’m afraid that Montenegro The army can reach Yecheng.

After thinking about it carefully, Han Fu seemed to have figured out something. He suddenly realized one thing. All along, he seemed to be a little prejudiced against the envoys from Northern Xinjiang. It seemed that he had always listened to Guo Tu's words, and then he didn't know What's the matter, I hate the envoys from Northern Xinjiang.

Even last time, he ordered to drive the envoys from Beijiang out of Jizhou. This kind of behavior is indeed an insult to the Beijiang army. Will you let it go?

Although Li is such a reason, Han Fu is not convinced. After all, he is also the Lord of Jizhou. Even if he is wrong, it is impossible to apologize to Guo Jia and the others. Really want to do this, but what is Guo Jia, just a servant.

"That's the case, no matter what, then I won't care about them. However, the envoy from Beijiang chose an inn to stay in an inn on purpose yesterday, and he didn't even come to visit me according to the etiquette. Isn’t it the Xinjiang envoy’s?”

"Here, my lord." Xun Chen smiled awkwardly: "My lord, there are rumors that the lord has never given up on the persecution of the northern Xinjiang envoys, and I don't know where the news came from. Someone said that the northern Xinjiang envoys did not live in the inn by themselves. They were forced to go to the inn by the lord.

The Beijiang envoy is now trapped in the inn, and his accompanying soldiers and horses are now on full alert. This is for self-protection.

My lord, I am afraid that the envoys from Northern Xinjiang have already received this news, so after entering the city, we should try to protect ourselves. Furthermore, my lord, although the envoys from Northern Xinjiang did not come to visit you according to the etiquette, it seems that we did not follow the etiquette either. To meet them, this, in the end who is right and who is wrong, I am afraid it is not something we can say clearly. "

"What? Didn't you go to meet them?" Han Fu turned to look at Guo Tu and said, "Yuan Tu, aren't you responsible for this?"

"Um, this?" Guo Tu hurriedly replied: "My lord, I have too many things to do here, and yesterday I was busy receiving Yuan Taishou's envoy, so I forgot about it."

"Bastard, how do you do things, hum."
