Lu Xuan sneered and said disdainfully: "This king has captured the entire Yanzhou and Qingzhou. The Youzhou army in the north has gone south to capture Hejian Kingdom, Zhongshan Kingdom, Bohai County and other places. The general trend has been completed."
"With my king's strength, it will be easy to overthrow the Jin Kingdom. In that case, why should I accept Yuan Shao's request for peace? Wouldn't it be best to destroy Yuan Shao in one go? Instead, I would leave Yuan Shao to cause trouble for me."
"This is not the work of wise men."
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "Guo Tu, you thought you could deceive me with your words, but you made a mistake."
Guo Tu didn't panic at all. He had already prepared the draft. If he couldn't handle this, he wouldn't go south.
Guo Tu said, neither humble nor arrogant, "King Wu is here."
Lu Xuan asked: "I am curious, what do you have in mind and how do you plan to deceive me?"
The Guo Tu in front of him is one of Yuan Shao's core advisers.
It's just that although Yuan Shao's counselors are all good, they all have certain talents. However, each has great shortcomings.
For example, a reviewer can handle government affairs, but is too narrow-minded. As the Shangshu Ling of the Jin State and the great steward of the Jin State, Shen Pei did not have enough skills to coordinate yin and yang, and did not have enough ability to unite officials.
This is a shortcoming of trial matching.
For example, Xu You, the counselor who has been killed, was unruly and arrogant, self-righteous, did not put anyone in his eyes, and looked down upon his own identity. Even Yuan Shao and Xu You didn't really regard them as lords.
For example, Tian Feng has a strong personality and tough attitude, and likes to confront Yuan Shao. The key is that Yuan Shao does not adopt Tian Feng's opinion. Tian Feng will not calm down the matter, but will also fight back. He will go outside and say that Yuan Shao is going to die and Yuan Shao is so stupid.
Tian Feng is too domineering.
Strategies such as Guo Tu and Feng Ji also have their own shortcomings.
Only Jushou was slightly normal.
However, Jushuo did not have much power under Yuan Shao. After Yuan Shao established the country, Shen Pei became Shangshu Ling of Jin State and took charge of government affairs, and Ju Shou's influence was even weakened.
If Yuan Shao can use human means, not only to control his subordinates, but also to use these people, it will be very easy to handle.
But Yuan Shao doesn't know how to employ people.
There's nothing we can do about it.
Guo Tu was very confident and said sternly: "The strength of King Wu is unparalleled in the world. However, King Wu ignored one point. The rabbit will bite when it is anxious. Although the current Jin Kingdom has been defeated again and again and suffered huge losses, it has It’s not that we don’t have the strength to fight.”
"If the King of Wu insists on overthrowing the Jin Kingdom, and my king fights to the death, he will break a few of the King of Wu's teeth, leaving the King of Wu with nothing to eat. When the time comes, it will be Cao Cao who takes advantage."
Lu Xuan smiled lightly. Guo Tu's words seemed tough, but in fact he was strong on the outside but hard on the inside.
Guo Tu continued: "Don't laugh, King Wu. What I say is all true. I will not deny your current strength, and it is possible to defeat the Jin State. However, the Jin State is not a mess and will not be manipulated."
"I'll come up with a better strategy."
"My lord, the King of Jin, surrenders to the King of Wu and becomes a vassal state of the King of Wu."
"In addition, the King of Jin specially collected four stunning beauties from Jizhou. These women were all sent outside the King of Wu's camp. As long as the King of Wu nods, our Lord declares his surrender to the Kingdom of Wu, and the women are also given to the King of Wu."
Guo Tu said sternly: "The King of Wu fought life and death, and fought back and forth, just to get the Jin Kingdom to submit? Now that the Jin King has submitted, you have achieved your goal and you have a woman, so why do you need to let your soldiers die again?"
When Lu Xuan heard Guo Tu's words, he weighed them in his mind.
Yuan Shao sent people to proclaim himself a minister.
This is the fear of being beaten.
Lu Xuan definitely disagreed with the conditions mentioned by Guo Tu. He doesn't care about the false reputation of being a minister. What he cares about is seizing the territory of Jin. He must control the north step by step. This is the most critical thing.
As for women, Lu Xuan chuckled. Is he, Lu Xuan, the one who sends women? If Yuan Shao really had a stunning woman, he wouldn't have sent someone to send Zhen Mi to him.
Lu Xuan thought for a while, then suddenly had an idea, and said: "Yuan Shao wants to surrender to this king, that's fine, but the conditions need to be changed."
Guo Tu smiled in his heart.
Done!
Just give it to a woman.
Lu Xuan must have agreed because he was so moved by the mention of four stunning women. As for modifying the conditions, in Guo Tu's opinion, it has no impact, it is just a formality.
Guo Tu felt proud and said: "Please show me, King Wu."
Lu Xuan said: "Yuan Shao openly proclaimed his vassalship to me. In addition, I will lead others to withdraw from Jizhou and hand over Jizhou to my king. Yuan Shao will be stationed in Bingzhou and the state will be established in Bingzhou. In this way, I will no longer attack."
brush!
Guo Tu's expression changed drastically.
There was a look of disbelief in his eyes, and he said in shock: "King Wu, are you kidding me?"
Lu Xuan's face was slightly cold and he said decisively: "Do you think I am joking?"
Guo Tu's cheeks twitched, his eyes surprised?
how come?
Why did Lu Xuan refuse?
Obviously he sent four women, all of them beautiful and beautiful, and all beauties with their own characteristics.
Lu Xuan actually refused and even spoke loudly, which completely exceeded his expectations. He could predict that if he went back with this condition, he would be met with Yuan Shao's thunderous wrath.
Guo Tu was still unwilling to give in and asked tentatively: "King Wu, my lord has also prepared a beautiful woman?"
Lu Xuan said disdainfully: "I have never seen a woman before. Do you need Yuan Shao's crooked melons and jujubes? You go back and tell Yuan Shao to hand over Jizhou and retreat to Bingzhou. I will agree to seek peace and truce and no longer attack. Otherwise, I will The king wants to completely destroy Yuan Shao. As for the women you brought, take them all back."
Guo Tu scratched his head and said again: "King Wu, do you really not think about it anymore?"
Lu Xuan said: "No need to think about it."
Guo Tu saw that Lu Xuan had a tough attitude and had no chance to soften, so he had no choice but to bow out. He walked out of the camp, still muttering, why did Lu Xuan agree when Cao Cao sent a woman to ask for peace?
He sent the woman there and professed his surrender to Lu Xuan on behalf of Yuan Shao. The price he paid was even greater, but Lu Xuan actually refused.
All this is so unfair.
Guo Tu had no choice but to quickly head north with a few women. When Guo Tu returned to Yecheng, he went directly to the Prince of Jin's Mansion to see him.
When Guo Tu saw Yuan Shao, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty."
Yuan Shao asked expectantly: "Guo Qing, how did Lu Xuan reply? He must have accepted four women, isn't he very happy?"
Guo Tu shook his head helplessly and replied: "Reporting to the king, Lu Xuan rejected our conditions and sent all four women back. Lu Xuan gave new conditions. Jin State will surrender to Wu State, and the king will withdraw. Jizhou, hand over Jizhou to Lu Xuan's control."
