Gongsun Zan was also sizing up Lu Xuan.
Looking at Lu Xuan's appearance, he felt that Lu Xuan was too handsome and a bit dazzling. Looking at Lu Xuan's age, I feel that Lu Xuan is too young and a bit dazzling. And because of Lu Xuan's gentle attitude, he suddenly doubted Lu Xuan's identity.
Could this person be an assassin?
Gongsun Zan moved his hand imperceptibly, placed it on the big sword on the desk, looked at Lu Xuan, and asked: "Is your Excellency really the King of Wu?"
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "If it's fake, it will be replaced!"
Gongsun Zan said: "How to prove it?"
Lu Xuan's eyes were calm and he said: "General Gongsun, the pressure from Liaodong for more than a year should be very small, right?"
A flash of light flashed across Gongsun Zan's eyes, and the dark circles moved up, squeezing his eyes until they narrowed into slits. His chubby face trembled and he asked, "What do King Wu's words mean?"
Lu Xuan replied: "My people have established themselves in Dashi County, Liaodong County. They have already started a war with Gongsun Du and captured a county. Because my people contained Gongsun Du, the northeast of General Gongsun was stable. At least, from Gongsun Du The pressure is gone.”
Gongsun Zan was shocked when he heard this.
What a plan!
Lu Xuan actually established a foothold in Liaodong.
When the news spreads, Yuan Shao may have trouble sleeping and eating, because Lu Xuan's foothold means that after Lu Xuan and Yuan Shao fight, he can attack Yuan Shao from the north and the south.
At this moment, Gongsun Zan no longer doubted the person who came, Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan has the strength and ability, and only Lu Xuan has such a motive.
Gongsun Zan had a smile on his face and said: "As expected of the King of Wu, he has the appearance of the sun, is rich and handsome, and acts like the overlord of his school. Since King Wu's people have established a foothold in Liaodong, what do you want King Wu to do with me when he comes to Youzhou? Woolen cloth?"
Lu Xuan said; "Cooperate!"
Gongsun Zan was a little excited.
He was attacked by Yuan Shao, and now he was unable to fight back and could only defend passively. The situation was very bad. If Lu Xuan gave him some support, or even if Lu Xuan restrained Yuan Shao, the situation would be different.
Gongsun Zan looked at Lu Xuan with increasingly eager and expectant eyes, and asked, "How does King Wu plan to cooperate?"
Lu Xuan did not go into the details of the cooperation, but said directly: "I will cooperate with General Gongsun, and we will attack Yuan Shao together in the future. When I unify the north and the south and rule the world, I will make General Gongsun the King of Yan and rule Liaodong forever. What does General Gongsun think about this cooperation? Sample?"
Gongsun Zan frowned slightly and said with some dissatisfaction: "Is one King Yan enough?"
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "General Gongsun was suppressed by Yuan Shao and was in danger. I made a special trip north to rescue the general from water and fire. This is a great benevolence. In the future, I will destroy Yuan Shao and give General Gongsun a King of Yan. Isn't it enough?"
"That's enough, that's enough."
Gongsun Zan chuckled.
He stopped bargaining and said seriously: "It's just that Yuan Shao is very powerful. It's not easy to destroy Yuan Shao."
Lu Xuan looked calm and said: "To attack Yuan Shao from a flank, the key is for your and my armies to join together and attack together. The biggest trouble right now is that Gongsundu of Liaodong County and Wuhuan of Liaoxi County are blocking us, preventing us from joining forces. .”
"Destroy Gongsun Du and Wu Huan, and my army can join forces with General Gongsun to attack Yuan Shao together. At that time, I will send troops from the south to respond, and the army will come out and destroy Yuan Shao in one battle."
Gongsun Zan thought for a while. Lu Xuan had the strength to destroy Lu Bu and Yuan Shu. He nodded and said, "I agree with King Wu's suggestion."
Lu Xuan continued with a smile on his face: "It's just that now, although my people are based in Dashi County, I can't send troops in the south to attack Liaodong with great fanfare, otherwise Yuan Shao will find out and he will definitely stop me."
"At that time, my plan will be impossible to succeed, and there will be no such a surprising and victorious army."
"So now, I need General Gongsun to allocate some troops, horses, and food to me so that I can go north to Wuhuan in western Liaoning and weaken Tadun. Then I will attack Liaodong County, wipe out Gongsun Du, and join my troops."
"At that point, my people will go south and join forces with General Gongsun to attack Yuan Shao."
Lu Xuan asked in a deep voice: "What does General Gongsun think of my plan?"
Gongsun Zan was unhappy.
Lu Xuan's arrangement was to provide nothing, relying entirely on him to supply troops, horses, and food.
Lu Xuan noticed Gongsun Zan's expression and sneered in his heart, he wanted benefits, how could it be possible without paying for it?
Lu Xuan looked as usual and sighed: "That's all, since General Gongsun doesn't want it, I won't force it. I always pay attention to fairness, fairness, and fairness in doing things. You pay the price, and I will give you the benefits."
"If you don't want to pay, I won't care. My people will develop on their own. My promise will no longer count."
"General Gongsun, take care of yourself."
Lu Xuan turned around and left.
Moreover, Lu Xuan was very fast, and he was already at the gate in a blink of an eye.
When Gongsun Zan saw Lu Xuan was about to leave, he immediately became anxious. When Lu Xuan was about to walk out, he quickly said: "King Wu, wait a moment."
Lu Xuan turned around, did not go back, and stayed where he was: "General Gongsun, do you have anything to say? If you continue to test, or don't believe me, there is actually no need. If you believe me, then cooperate well."
Gongsun Zan said quickly: "Of course I believe in King Wu. Please sit down and talk slowly."
In fact, Gongsun Zan had no choice.
Yuan Shao was approaching step by step, and Gongsun Zan was unable to resist. The soldiers under his command were all disheartened, and they would collapse sooner or later. Although the conditions offered by Lu Xuan allowed Gongsun Zan to support the army, for Gongsun Zan, this was already a life-saving straw.
Gongsun Zan didn't wait for Lu Xuan to speak and immediately asked: "How many soldiers and horses does King Wu need?"
Lu Xuandao: "Not many, five thousand cavalry."
"ah!"
Gongsun Zan exclaimed in surprise.
His fat body moved twice, his butt felt like it was sitting on pins and needles, his fat face trembled twice, and he said: "King Wu, I retreated to Yijing City and my power is weak. Where can I get five thousand cavalry for you? There are not so many."
Lu Xuan shook his head and said: "If you can't give me five thousand cavalry, what are you talking about? Five thousand cavalry is exchanged for King Yan. You can't buy five thousand cavalry and you can't suffer a loss. You can't be fooled. It's definitely worth the money. General Gongsun is not willing to do this at all. Take it out, what else are you talking about?”
Gongsun Zan said: "King Wu, I can only provide three thousand cavalry. After all, my ordinary cavalry only has five thousand people. I gave you three thousand, and I only have two thousand left. Even if I still have white horse followers, the cavalry will not be enough." Running out."
A smile flashed across Lu Xuan's eyes.
Three thousand cavalry, in fact, was the number he needed. It's just that when Lu Xuan and Gongsun Zan were bargaining, they couldn't just talk to three thousand people, so they had to pay attention to strategy.
Raise the price first before negotiating.
Lu Xuan's smile was hidden, but he still looked dissatisfied. He frowned and said, "General Gongsun, three thousand people is still a bit small."
"Quite a few."
There was a hint of pleading in Gongsun Zan's tone, and he said: "King Wu, if I give all my army to you and Yuan Shao comes to kill him, how can I resist him?"
Lu Xuan looked reluctant and said, "It's the same reason."
Seeing Lu Xuan's softened tone, Gongsun Zan felt relieved and said, "Three thousand people is already the limit."
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "Then three thousand people."
"Yes, just three thousand people."
Gongsun Zan answered firmly.
He changed the topic and asked: "When does King Wu plan to go to Liaodong?"
Lu Xuan replied: "It's June now. It's hot in the south, but it's better in the north. So this is the best time to attack Wuhuan and Gongsundu. I will set off to the north immediately and seize the time to attack."
Having said this, Lu Xuan looked at Gongsun Zan again, as if looking at a fat sheep, pondered over the idea of shearing out the wool, and further said: "If I want to attack Wuhuan, I need General Gongsun to provide a guide, because your people are most familiar with the things outside the wall. Condition."
