Gongsun Zan heard what Lu Xuan said and asked, "What kind of guide does the King of Wu need?"
Lu Xuan replied: "Of course it is a guide who is familiar with the situation of leaving the fortress. After I go north to Youzhou, I will go east into Wuhuan territory. If there is no one who is familiar with the situation, I will easily fall into danger."
Gongsun Zan smiled and said: "This matter is easy. I promise to arrange it properly."
Lu Xuandao: "In that case, thank you, General Gongsun."
Gongsun Zan waved his hand and said: "Time is urgent. I will not retain King Wu. Please go out and wait a moment. I will arrange for people to prepare horses and cavalry immediately."
"Thank you."
Lu Xuan politely thanked him.
In his heart, he shook his head further. Gongsun Zan was really a difficult person to deal with. He felt that he didn't understand human relations at all.
In the current situation, no matter what the two sides thought in their hearts, they were considered allies. Gongsun Zan drove them away without even giving him a sip of water.
No wonder that after Liu Bei left Gongsun Zan, he went to work under Tao Qian, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao, but he never thought about returning to work with his old brother Gongsun Zan.
This person is too petty.
Lu Xuan turned around and left. For him, it was enough to achieve his goal, and there was no need for further contact with Gongsun Zan.
Gongsun Zan looked at Lu Xuan who was leaving and said, "Whoever comes, please inform Guan Jing to come and discuss matters."
Guan Jing is the long history of Gongsun Zan.
Historically, after Gongsun Zan set himself on fire, Guan Jing got the news and died for the Lord. He was a loyal man. It's just that Guan Jing's ability is very ordinary. In addition, Gongsun Zan is a rotten tree, so Guan Jing's little ability can't help him even more.
After a while, Guan Jing entered the hall.
He looked a little excited.
During this period, Gongsun Zan did not see Guan Jing. When something happened, he would only let Guan Jing convey it in letters, sent in from outside the city.
This time, it was rare to summon him.
Guan Jing saluted and said: "I humble myself, Guan Jing, and pay my respects to my lord."
Gongsun Zan directly ordered: "Guan Jing, go and select three thousand cavalry and give them to Lu Xuan outside Yijing City."
"ah!"
Guan Jing exclaimed in surprise.
He didn't expect it to be King Wu Lu Xuan for a moment, and frowned and said: "My lord, we don't have many cavalry. If we suddenly choose three thousand cavalry to give away, our cavalry will be weakened a lot. Who is this Lu Xuan? I want you to give it to me." so much?"
Gongsun Zan said: "This is King Wu Lu Xuan."
Guan Jing's heart trembled. He finally understood. He felt a little excited and said, "My lord, King Wu Lu Xuan is one of the overlords in the south. Why did he come to our Youzhou and ask us to support the cavalry?"
Gongsun Zan looked a little irritated when Guan Jing looked like a curious baby, but he still patiently explained the situation in Liaodong.
Finally, Gongsun Zan said: "Currently, Lu Xuan needs to gain a foothold in Liaodong and then join us to attack Yuan Shao. When Lu Xuan rules the world, he will make me King of Yan and rule Youzhou forever. In short, we are in a difficult situation now, Lu Xuan If he is willing to form an alliance, I will agree to it.”
Guan Jing thought about it carefully, without Lu Xuan, they would definitely lose.
Lu Xuan's presence means Gongsun Zan surrenders.
In the future, there will be a king.
Guan Jing nodded and said: "My lord's decision, I agree with it, I will make arrangements now."
A cunning look flashed in Gongsun Zan's eyes, and he ordered: "When you go to make arrangements, choose the best horses, and the three thousand cavalry will also choose ordinary infantry. Anyway, our soldiers can ride horses. Although the riding skills of ordinary soldiers are not as good as No matter how exquisite it is, leave it to Lu Xuan and we won’t care about it.”
Guan Jing's cheeks twitched and he said, "Master, is this okay?"
"What's wrong? I think it's fine."
Gongsun Zan snorted and ordered: "I support Lu Xuan's 3,000 soldiers and 3,000 horses. I have done my best to support him. Is it possible that he still wants me to give him my best men? Lu Xuan is a white wolf with nothing. I promise him." The conditions are very good.”
At this moment, Gongsun Zan's fat face showed a look of dissatisfaction.
He surrendered to Lu Xuan.
I still feel a little unhappy in my heart.
Guan Jing disagreed in his heart and said: "My lord, although we are united with Lu Xuan, in fact, it is similar to submitting to Lu Xuan. Since we are helping him at this time, we will naturally go all out, why do we need to do this again?"
Gongsun Zan put his hands on the desk, stood up with his chubby body, his protruding belly trembled twice, and his small eyes were very sharp.
There was an evil look on his face.
Gongsun Zan said forcefully: "Lu Xuan, a man from the south, has never seen a war horse. He knows nothing. Besides, our war horse was given to him. He was overjoyed and overjoyed. How could he possibly judge that there was something wrong with the war horse?" Don't talk nonsense, it's just arranged."
He stayed in Yijing City for more than a year. He never rode a horse to fight or exercised. He hung out with the concubines in the city all day long, ate and slept all day long. His body was not what it used to be, so after getting angry, he could not breathe. Somewhat rushed.
Seeing Guan Jing's hesitation, he scolded: "Why are you hesitating? Make arrangements immediately."
Guan Jing said: "My lord, Lu Xuan is here. Do you want to have a special banquet to entertain Lu Xuan?"
"No need!"
Gongsun Zan flicked his sleeves.
Guan Jing had no choice but to make arrangements. His lord's temper was really helpless.
When Guan Jing went to arrange the horses and soldiers, Lu Xuan got off the tower from the hanging basket.
Xu Chu and Zhao Yun were relieved when they saw it.
Zhao Yun said: "The king came out shortly after entering. Could it be that Gongsun Zan refuses to cooperate?"
Jia Xu also looked over and frowned: "It stands to reason that the king's alliance with Gongsun Zan cannot fail. For Gongsun Zan, the king's support has no harm at all. It is the straw that saves Gongsun Zan's life. Why did it come out so quickly? "
Lu Xuan looked relaxed and said with a smile: "Gongsun Zan promised to give three thousand fine cavalry and a corresponding amount of food and grass. We will have enough troops and horses to go north. The matter is done."
Zhao Yun said: "The king is wise."
Jia Xu stroked his beard under his chin, with a look of confusion on his face, and said, "My lord, Gongsun Zan gave soldiers and horses, but asked you to come out and not hold a banquet to bring the two parties closer. This man's handling of things, some problems."
Lu Xuan sighed: "It's normal for Gongsun Zan to be petty. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to let me in from the hanging basket. Even after I entered, he didn't greet me."
Jia Xu nodded and said: "No matter what happens to him, as long as he is given to soldiers and horses."
Lu Xuandao: "I think so too."
Lu Xuan glanced at the city several feet high, shook his head and said, "Let's go to the outskirts of Yijing City and wait here to be suppressed. Such a place is really boring."
The group of people went out directly and waited outside Yijing City.
Time passed little by little, and half an hour later, three thousand cavalry came on horseback. Guan Jing walked in the front, came to Lu Xuan, cupped his hands and said: "I am Guan Jing, the general's long history, and I have been ordered to send three thousand fine cavalry."
Lu Xuandao: "Thank you for your hard work."
He looked at Zhao Yun on the side and ordered: "Zilong, go take a look at the three thousand cavalry and check if there are any problems."
"Here!"
Zhao Yun turned around and walked over.
Guan Jing saw Zhao Yun, and he also knew Zhao Yun. However, Zhao Yun had been away from Gongsun Zan for several years, and the two parties had long lost their relationship, so Guan Jing could not say anything. However, Zhao Yun once commanded the White Horse Yi Cong and was the most fierce tiger general in the army. Zhao Yun could tell the condition of the cavalry at a glance.
Guan Jing was a little worried.
Their eyes followed Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun walked up to the cavalry and checked the condition of the horses one by one. He frowned and asked the cavalry to come down again and inquired carefully. After some understanding, Zhao Yun came to Lu Xuan with a stern expression.
Zhao Yun said: "Your Majesty, Gongsun Zan is too perfunctory. Most of the three thousand war horses sent are old and inferior. They are the worst war horses and have no ability to run long distances."
"These war horses are just for transporting food and grass, and cannot participate in the war."
"Many of these cavalry are elderly, and many of them are not cavalry at first glance. Ordinary soldiers and cavalry are different, especially when riding on horseback, their postures are even more different."
"I asked some people, and most of them are ordinary infantry, not cavalry. Real cavalry is well-trained and dares to constantly charge and kill. A well-trained cavalry has completely different combat effectiveness."
Zhao Yun said: "Please give me a clear warning, your Majesty."
Jia Xu took the words and said coldly: "Your Majesty, Gongsun Zan's move is to frame you. Just imagine, when we led the cavalry north to fight Wuhuan, all of them were cavalry who were unable to fight. It was like going to die. Gongsun Zan has ulterior motives and it is not appropriate to have close friendship with him. Please leave immediately, Your Majesty."
Lu Xuan nodded, looked at Guan Jing, and said in a deep voice: "Guan Changshi, I won't say more about the specific situation. Take these three thousand horses and soldiers back, I don't want them anymore. Farewell!" "
"let's go!"
Lu Xuan got on his horse and gave the order.
When Guan Jing saw this scene, he immediately panicked and said quickly: "King Wu, wait a moment, don't be impatient."
Lu Xuan rode on horseback and said forcefully: "The situation is very clear, what is there to say? Gongsun Zan is not sincere, so there is no need to cooperate. Everything in Liaodong is on my own and I don't need his intervention. Wait for me After taking Liaodong, I will attack Gongsun Zan together with Yuan Shao to avenge today's humiliation."
Ding!
Guan Jing's heart trembled even more.
He is more aware of the dire situation than Gongsun Zan. Yuan Shao is approaching step by step, and Gongsun Zan is on the verge of collapse at any time. That is to say, the city of Yijing is strong and difficult to attack, otherwise Gongsun Zan would have been killed and his family would have been wiped out.
Guan Jing stepped forward, stretched out his hand to pull Lu Xuan's horse rein, and said loudly: "King Wu, please wait a moment, I will report again. There must have been some misunderstanding about this matter, please ask King Wu Hold on."
Lu Xuandao: "Is it really a misunderstanding?"
Guan Jing said firmly: "It's definitely a misunderstanding. Just wait a moment. I'll go see the general immediately and report the matter. I promise to give you a satisfactory answer."
"Go ahead."
Lu Xuan nodded.
However, he is still on the horse and can leave at any time.
Guan Jing looked at Lu Xuan again, sighed in his heart, and left as fast as he could, running towards the central city.
