Yuan Shao's behavior was still polite, but the civil and military officials around him couldn't help but hide their faces and laugh in mockery.
Feng Ji, in particular, laughed unscrupulously, not caring what would happen to Guo Tu.
Guo Tu didn't care at all about this and was still shouting proudly in his heart.
Laugh, laugh as much as you want!
How happy you are to laugh now, how ashamed you will be in the future!
"Gongzhi?"
Yuan Shao couldn't help but ask again, but there was obvious displeasure in his voice.
Guo Tu was rude over and over again, and Yuan Shao was already extremely kind and righteous to him.
If the news Guo Tu had not brought was so shocking, Yuan Shao would have beaten him with a stick!
"I would like to inform my lord that this time I was able to convince Liu Zhang to join forces with my lord while only occupying Sizhou. It was all thanks to this 'ghost' talent that shocked the whole world!"
It was mentioned many times, and Yuan Shao had to pay attention to it.
Could there really be ghosts helping me?
"Gongze, where is the master of ghosts? Can I, the general, see him?"
"Hahaha..."
Guo Tu stroked his beard and laughed, then took a deep breath of hot air through his nostrils.
"I don't dare to deceive my lord. Liu Zhang calls him a ghost genius who shocked the world. It is..."
"Down here!"
Poof!
I don’t know who couldn’t help laughing first, and then the room suddenly burst into laughter.
"Ha ha ha ha..."
Especially Feng Ji, who laughed so hard that tears gathered in the corners of his eyes.
Yuan Shao shook his head slightly, then turned around and sat back in the main seat.
Judging from his gloomy face, you can tell the anger in Yuan Shao's heart.
At this time, Yuan Shao had only one idea in his mind.
Guo Tu is too presumptuous!
Not only did they not take him as a general seriously, they even treated him like a monkey!
Yuan Shao even suspected that Liu Zhang's promise to use Sizhou in exchange for sending troops was Guo Tu's imagination.
Could it be that Guo Tu is crazy? Forced by yourself?
After a long time, the laughter gradually stopped, but Fengji still didn't recover.
At this time, he was squatting on the ground, seeming to be deprived of oxygen due to violent laughter.
Just when Guo Tu was about to retort, Yuan Shao's angry rebuke suddenly came from the front.
"Guo Tu, I will ask you again, General, whether Liu Zhang has agreed to send troops!"
"If you dare to tease me again, watch your head!"
Hearing this angry rebuke, the pride in Guo Tu's eyes instantly turned into confusion and grievance.
He has clearly made such great achievements, why should he be treated like this?
First he was questioned, then he was ridiculed!
Now even the general Yuan Shao doesn't believe it.
Besides, this is a ghost that Liu Zhang calls himself, not a self-proclaimed one.
Is it possible that the staff of the Hebei General's Mansion are already jealous to this extent?
At this point, Guo Tu can only think this way.
The current General's Mansion can no longer accommodate a unique talent like myself!
Perhaps only Liu Zhang, a peerless hero, is worthy of controlling a 'ghost' like himself!
"host..."
Just as Guo Tu was about to speak, Feng Ji suddenly stood up and grabbed Guo Tu's collar.
"Guo Gongze, let's not talk about the outcome of going to Chang'an. Based on Liu Zhang's evaluation of you as a ghost, you deserve it!"
If this sentence comes from anyone's mouth, Guo Tu can accept it, and he will think it is a compliment from others.
But when it came out of Fengji's mouth, it seemed to be full of ridicule.
"Feng Yuan Tu, jealousy has already distorted your humanity!"
"I bother!"
Feng Ji spat violently and pushed Guo Tu to the ground!
"If it weren't for you, a ghost, how could you have framed Jushou before the Battle of Guandu?"
"If it weren't for a ghost like you, how could Zhang He have no choice but to surrender to the enemy during the Battle of Guandu?"
"If it weren't for you, a ghost, how could my lord be so wise and mighty and defeated at the hands of the dishonored Cao Ah Ma?"
Yuan Shao became angrier the more he listened, and he agreed very much with Feng Ji's words.
Looking back now, it seems that if Guo Tu hadn't interfered, the battle of Guandu might not have been lost!
Seeing Yuan Shao's increasingly gloomy face and the sparks constantly coming out of his eyes, Guo Tu suddenly felt something bad.
If Yuan Shao takes advantage of him, he will beheaded in anger!
"Lord, don't listen to Fengji's nonsense, he is setting me up!"
"He is jealous! He is jealous that I have achieved such great achievements, my lord!"
Guo Tuzhen felt like crying without tears. He was obviously a hero of the whole of Hebei and even a benefactor of Yuan Shao. Why did he end up being treated like this?
Yuan Shao clenched his fingers. If it weren't for the last hope in his heart for Liu Zhang to send troops, Guo Tu would definitely be missing his head at this moment.
"Guo Tu, this great general has no time to talk nonsense with you!"
"What happened to Liu Zhang?"
"Did you convince Liu Zhang?"
"What conditions did you use to persuade Liu Zhang?"
"Everything must be dealt with by this great general! Anyone who makes false claims will be killed without mercy!"
Guo Tu didn't even bother to stand up. He knelt and crawled to Yuan Shao's feet. He grabbed Yuan Shao's thigh and started crying loudly.
"Lord, everything I say is true!"
Guo Tu burst into tears and cried so hard that he was so desperate!
No wonder, Guo Tu was full of grievances, how could he be wronged?
When Yuan Shao saw Guo Tu looking like this, he couldn't help but feel sympathy in his heart.
After all, after following him for so long, it is impossible not to have any feelings.
But just as Yuan Shao was about to speak, Feng Ji stepped forward and immediately kicked Guo Tu.
Then he spat at Guo Tu angrily and looked at Yuan Shao angrily.
"My lord, this thief is really tough-talking. Why don't we beat him with a hundred army sticks, just to avoid being afraid that he won't fight!"
The corners of Wen and Wu's eyes twitched wildly. They didn't expect Feng Ji to be so cruel!
According to Guo Tu's stature, if fifty military sticks come down, it is guaranteed to be life or death!
However, Yuan Shao hesitated and seemed to want to adopt Feng Ji's opinion.
There is no way!
Yuan Shao really didn't believe what Guo Tu said before.
In his mind, maybe a fight would be enough.
"Father, wait!"
Just when Guo Tu was desperate, the eldest son Yuan Tan finally stood up.
At present, among Yuan Shao's subordinates, only Guo Tu is devoted to Yuan Tan.
If Yuan Tan doesn't protect Guo Tu at this time, then no one will dare to make friends with Yuan Tan in the future.
"Father, what Guo Tu said may not necessarily be all lies."
"If what he said is true and my father beats him to death, people in the world will say that my father does not discriminate between rewards and punishments!"
"Moreover, it was Guo Tu who was negotiating with Liu Zhang. If Liu Zhang learns that his father beat Guo Tu to death, the previous negotiations may be completely void."
"Public or private, emotional or rational, Guo Tu should not be punished at this time!"
When Yuan Shao heard this, he immediately felt very reasonable, and then glared at Feng Ji.
"My son is right! Yuan Tu, you almost made me a mediocre general!"
Fengji hurriedly chatted and retreated. He understood Yuan Shao very well.
Even if his words were worn out at this time, it would be impossible for Yuan Shao to punish Guo Tu again.
When Guo Tu heard that there was no need to punish him with a stick, he rolled over and knelt down in front of Yuan Shao, kowtow and thanked him.
"Thank you so much, my lord!"
Yuan Shao grabbed him and his expression became extremely serious.
"Gongze, tell the truth, does Liu Zhang have any other conditions?"
At this time, Guo Tu didn't dare to hide anything and nodded quickly.
"My lord, Liu Zhang really has one condition..."
