Kick, kick, kick. . .
Among the people's gazes with different expressions, a figure gradually appeared.
Either joy or sarcasm.
Only Yuan Shao, who was in charge, had eyes full of expectation.
The previous series of bad news made the general lose confidence in Facao.
If Guo Tu can fulfill his mission and successfully win Liu Zhang's help, then all disadvantages will be reversed.
The situation will eventually change completely!
Today's Yuan Shao does not have such high expectations.
Even if the final outcome is not as originally expected, all the four states of Yan, Qing, Xu, and Yu will be under his command.
Even if it can only be divided north of the Yellow River, it is still a good choice for Yuan Shao now.
Not long after, the travel-worn Guo Tu stepped in.
From his messy hair, you can guess how anxious he was along the way.
It was precisely because of Guo Tu's image that the sarcastic Wenwu immediately put away his malice.
No matter what, Guo Tu can be regarded as doing his best for Yuan Shao.
Now that we are facing a formidable enemy, we should still work together.
When Guo Tu walked into the house, he felt even more proud when he saw everyone's slightly admiring eyes.
Just as he was about to step forward to report the good news to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao unexpectedly stepped forward first and grabbed his shoulder.
"Gongze, what will be the outcome of this trip? Can Liu Zhang agree to join forces with us?"
Seeing Yuan Shao's expectant eyes, Guo Tu felt a little uncomfortable.
I rode day and night and wanted to rush back to Nanpi immediately.
In the end, he didn't even get a greeting from Yuan Shao.
Why. . .
Considering the subject's mood, my lord is still far behind!
Guo Tu sighed in his heart, but immediately reported the good news to Yuan Shao.
"My lord, I'm glad you have fulfilled your destiny! We have successfully persuaded Liu Zhang to join forces with us!"
"really?"
Yuan Shao exclaimed, his eyes widened.
All the civil and military personnel around him stood up, their eyes full of disbelief and doubt.
Guo Tu actually convinced Liu Zhang?
Why should he!
In the hearts of everyone in the room, Guo Tu was just a selfish villain who followed the crowd.
Maybe some vicious tricks, but definitely not very capable.
Even if he tried to convince Liu Zhang based on his abilities, no one was optimistic about him.
Even the eldest son Yuan Tan, who was very close to him.
Guo Tu had long expected that people would question this, and he felt even more proud at the moment.
"My lord, how dare I talk nonsense about such a major military and national matter?"
"Liu Zhang was not only persuaded by me, but also agreed that I would personally lead a hundred thousand troops out of Chang'an and march straight into Yanzhou!"
Wow. . .
There was an uproar in the room, everyone was whispering to each other.
Yuan Shao was even more excited and shaking. If Liu Zhang personally took action, what would Cao Cao do?
"Gongzhi, just giving Sizhou to Liu Zhang will definitely not persuade him. I wonder what conditions you used to let him send troops?"
As soon as Yuan Shao said these words, the room suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Guo Tu's face.
The next answer is the most important thing!
No one even thought about the situation where only Sizhou was given to Liu Zhang, and the remaining Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou all belonged to Yuan Shao.
The possibility of achieving this situation is almost completely impossible, unless Liu Zhang is kicked in the head by a donkey!
If the Central Plains is divided into two, and Sizhou and Yuzhou are given to Liu Zhang, and Yuan Shao occupies Xuzhou and Yanzhou, it will also be a very good situation.
Even worse, if Liu Zhang occupied Sizhou, Yuzhou and Yanzhou, leaving only Xuzhou to Yuan Shao, it would not be unacceptable.
After all, we must first eliminate Cao Cao, and then try our best to compete with Liu Zhang.
If all Cao Cao's territory is given to Liu Zhang, Yuan Shao will only maintain the situation of separatist rule in Hebei, which is not completely unacceptable.
You can agree temporarily and take it back to several counties in Hebei Province.
Yuan Shao can accept all the above situations.
Anyway, as long as Liu Zhang is willing to unite, everything will be easy.
Guo Tu glanced at everyone and found that many people had contempt in their eyes.
Now Guo Tu already knew what everyone was thinking.
He must have felt that he had ceded all the states and counties in the Central Plains, and the seller was seeking glory in exchange for Liu Zhang sending troops.
This time Guo Tu was even more proud, his nostrils raised to the sky.
He decided to give it a try and find out the answer!
But Yuan Shao couldn't wait any longer. He was eager to know the result.
"Gongze, but Sizhou and Yuzhou are given to Liu Zhang, and we occupy Yanzhou and Xuzhou?"
Guo Tu didn't say anything, just shook his head.
Sure enough it didn't go that smoothly!
Yuan Shao sighed secretly in his heart, not too disappointed.
"But give Sizhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou to Liu Zhang, and we will only occupy Xuzhou?"
Guo Tu still said nothing and shook his head.
At this time, everyone's eyes showed unabashed disdain and shame.
The answer has been revealed. Guo Tu must have been the seller seeking glory and gave all the four states of the Central Plains to Liu Zhang!
Feng Ji on the side finally couldn't bear it anymore. He was at odds with Guo Tu and didn't believe that Guo Tu would make great achievements.
"My lord, I have long known that Mr. Guo is bluffing!"
"If you cede all the land in the Central Plains to Liu Zhang, what kind of envoys would you need?"
"Unless Liu Zhang is a fool, can he not accept it?"
Yuan Shao glanced at Guo Tu indifferently, and all interest suddenly disappeared.
"Forget it, it would be nice to get Liu Zhang to send troops in exchange."
"When Liu Zhang attacks Yanzhou, Cao Cao must go to resist in person. We will seize this moment and do our best to conquer Hebei."
"When Liu Zhang and Cao Cao are in a stalemate, won't we become proactive?"
The reason why Yuan Shao remained calm was because he believed that the battle in Hebei would end earlier than the battle in the Central Plains.
When Liu Zhang cannot defeat Cao Cao, he will definitely ask for help from himself, and then the Central Plains can be re-divided.
No matter what, Guo Tu's ability to persuade Liu Zhang to send troops this time is already a great achievement!
At this moment, Guo Tu spoke again.
"My lord, what I am discussing with Liu Zhang is not that all the Central Plains provinces belong to Liu Zhang."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Guo Tu finished speaking, Feng Ji exploded and jumped up in shock.
"Guo Gongze, you beast, a traitor who betrays the country and seeks glory!"
"Tell me! Did you also give Jizhou to Liu Zhang?"
Fengji's exaggerated reaction and horrified words immediately shocked everyone in the room.
Thinking of Guo Tu's personal admission just now that he did not give all the four states of the Central Plains to Liu Zhang, a terrifying thought appeared in Yuan Shao's mind.
"Gongze, could it be that you really gave Jizhou to Liu Zhang as well!"
