Yuan Shao was furious, staring at Guo Tu with his eyes wide open as if they were spitting fire.
call! call! !
Yuan Shao's chest heaved and he breathed so rapidly that white air kept coming out of his mouth and nose in the cold weather.
He put his right hand on the desk and stood up, taking three steps and two steps at a time. He walked to Guo Tu, pointed at Guo Tu's nose and asked, "Guo Tu, what on earth did you talk about? Not only did Lu Xuan Is it a dream for him to ask me to declare myself a vassal and to withdraw from Jizhou?"
Guo Tu looked helpless.
On the way back, he thought that Lu Xuan's conditions were too harsh, and Yuan Shao would definitely curse him, and that was indeed the case.
Guo Tu lowered his head and said nothing.
Yuan Shao was still not satisfied after scolding him, so he continued: "Are you Guo Tu a servant of this king, or are you impatient to defect to Lu Xuan because you want Lu Xuan to be strong and the Wu Kingdom wants to dominate the world?"
thump!
Guo Tu knelt directly on the ground.
Facing Yuan Shao's heart-breaking words, Guo Tu said in fear: "Your Majesty, I swear to God that I will never have second thoughts towards my lord. If I have any evil intentions, I will die a good death if thousands of arrows pierce my heart."
Guo Tu knew Yuan Shao's character.
When I trust you, I will treat you with all kinds of kindness, all kinds of sincerity, and all kinds of preferential treatment, even better than my own brothers.
When they don't trust you, they are enemies.
Yuan Shao was angry.
Yuan Shao's anger must be calmed.
Guo Tu knelt his head on the ground and further explained: "The Jin State has been defeated one after another, everyone is in danger, and the situation is unfavorable. Under this premise, no one is willing to send an envoy, because they know that if they go to Wu as an envoy, they will definitely be attacked by Lu Xuan Make things difficult.”
"I risk my life to go and see Lu Xuan."
"Everything I do is for the king and our country of Jin. If the king thinks that the news I brought back has ulterior motives and that I am going to serve Lu Xuan, please grant me death."
Guo Tu choked up as he spoke, and continued: "I know that my abilities are limited. In terms of strategy, I can't compare with Tian Feng and Ju Shu, and in terms of running the country, I can't compare with the judgment of marriage. But when it comes to loyalty, I, Guo Tu, dare to swear to the Tianmeng , no worse than any other, please give me a clear warning.”
boom! boom! !
Guo Tu kept kowtowing and saluting.
Yuan Shaoer's heart was weak, and when he saw Guo Tu choking, his anger disappeared instantly.
He sighed, stepped forward to help Guo Tu up, and sighed: "Guo Qing, I don't blame you, I'm angry that Lu Xuan pushed even further, and the lion opened his mouth. Lu Xuan deserves to die, he is extremely hateful."
Guo Tu stood up and breathed a sigh of relief.
Passed!
Guo Tu looked touched and said: "How can I not know the king's heart? Lu Xuan is a very hateful and cunning person. When I saw him, I encountered all kinds of difficulties."
"Lu Xuan said that the king is besieged on all sides now, and that destroying the king is like crushing an ant. Lu Xuan's extreme suppression is, in the final analysis, just to attack the Jin Kingdom and force the king to submit."
Guo Tu further added to the explanation.
Anyway, Yuan Shao didn't know what Lu Xuan said when he was on his mission.
"No way!"
Yuan Shao flicked his sleeves and answered decisively.
He said loudly: "I have worked hard to start my own business, and I have the foundation I have now. Wouldn't it be a joke to everyone in the world to evacuate Jizhou directly? Come, please inform Jushou, Tianfeng, Fengji, Xinpi, Xinping, and Xunchen to come and discuss the matter. .”
Yuan Shao made arrangements.
These people are the most important advisers under his command. This time it involves Lu Xuan's conditions. Since the matter is serious, Yuan Shao calls everyone here.
Yuan Shao looked around and spoke seriously about Lu Xuan's conditions. He said coldly: "Lu Xuan's conditions are that the Kingdom of Jin surrenders to the Kingdom of Wu, and that the king leads his people to evacuate Jizhou. What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, we cannot retreat!"
Tian Feng was the first to object.
During this time, he was idle by Yuan Shao and lost his rights. But he was also allowed to participate in all discussions.
Tian Feng looked solemn and said loudly: "I have said before that you must never give in to Lu Xuan. Once you give in, Lu Xuan will push forward and open his mouth like a lion."
"Why does Lu Xuan want the lion to open his mouth?"
"It's us who take the initiative to seek peace."
"You took the initiative to ask for peace, and you let Lu Xuan see our true and false intentions. You don't dare to fight, you can't win, and you are afraid of Lu Xuan. Therefore, Lu Xuan doesn't respect the king and doesn't take Jin in his eyes."
"To turn the tide now, the only option is to fight to the death, so that Lu Xuan can see that I, the son of Jin State, dare to fight, and no one is afraid of a fight. Only in this way can Lu Xuan be frightened."
Tian Feng looked at Yuan Shao, bowed and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please think twice."
Yuan Shao had a dark face and did not express his position.
Tian Feng is too radical.
Yuan Shao didn't like Tian Feng's attitude very much, so he turned and looked at other people.
As the head of the civil service, Shen Pei was the first to say: "Your Majesty, I don't think we can fight Lu Xuan. It's a very real problem. After the First World War in the Hejian Kingdom, our main force was completely lost. Although we have soldiers, we can't. Not enough fighting power.”
"Second Young Master Yuan Xi's main force is in Bingzhou and cannot rush to Yecheng in time."
"Besides, we have the biggest problem."
"Hejian Kingdom and Zhongshan Kingdom in the northern region of Jizhou fell, Bohai County in the east fell, and Xiahoudun's Dongjun was also captured by Lu Xuan. Once the Wu Kingdom attacks, there are no natural barriers to the north, east, and south of Ye City. How can we resist it? Woolen cloth?"
Shen Pei said: "Retreat to Bingzhou to avoid Lu Xuan's sharp attack. The Taihang Eight Paths to the east of Bingzhou are blocking it, which is enough to cut off Lu Xuan's access to Bingzhou and temporarily preserve our foundation."
Tian Feng glared angrily and said loudly: "Shen Pei, you weakling. Do you know that if you retreat now, the foundation of Jin will be lost, which is equivalent to handing over Ye City to Lu Xuan. It's easy to hand it over, but to take it back, you have to do it again." No chance either."
"Your Majesty, I agree with the review of the minister's book."
Fengji stood up and spoke.
Feng Ji looked eager and expressed his position: "Tian Feng said it easily, but who doesn't want to resist? Everyone wants to fight Lu Xuan to the death, defeat Lu Xuan, and save the Jin Kingdom's current predicament."
"The problem is, we have no chance."
"We say that everyone is fighting hard, but when it comes to this, I am afraid that everyone is afraid of fighting."
"Cao Cao can bow down to seek peace and stay dormant for the time being. Why can't we bow down? How about stabilizing the basics first? Everything we do now is for revenge in the future. The concession now is not for fear of Lu Xuan, but for I can get my revenge later.”
Feng Ji said loudly: "Please give me a clear warning, your Majesty."
Xin Pi rolled his eyes and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I second the proposal. Lu Xuan is too strong, so we can only avoid his edge. The only way to defeat Lu Xuan is to unite with Cao Cao, otherwise there will be no chance."
Xin Ping also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I second my opinion."
Xun Chen said: "I second the proposal!"
Yuan Shao's eyes fell on Jushou and asked: "Jushou, what do you think?"
Ju Shou stroked his beard and said, "Your Majesty, it's a pity to give up Jizhou, but against Lu Xuan, and I agree with Shen Shangshu's analysis, it will be difficult for us to win."
Yuan Shao snorted and said, "What you said is as if you didn't say anything."
Jushou said seriously: "I suggest you make an adjustment and change your response strategy."
Yuan Shao asked: "How to adjust?"
Jushou replied: "According to Lu Xuan's arrangement, the king surrendered to Lu Xuan, and at the same time retreated to Bingzhou and handed over Jizhou. However, the king left the third son Yuan Shang behind, and asked the third son to pretend to be a bandit and lead his men to seize Yecheng. .”
"The king is in Bingzhou, preserving the foundation of the Jin Kingdom, and also expressing his attitude to Lu Xuan."
"The Third Young Master controls Ye City as a bandit, and rejecting Lu Xuan has nothing to do with the king. If you, Lu Xuan, want to control Jizhou, you have to attack on your own."
"If you can't hold it, that's it."
"If the Third Young Master can defend Ye City, he can use Ye City to consume Lu Xuan's army. Furthermore, if Lu Xuan continues to attack and cannot capture Ye City, it will be even better. The energy source will continue to weaken Lu Xuan's power."
"Please give me a clear warning!"
Jushou proposed his own strategy.
On the surface, he still obeys Lu Xuan, but in fact he still controls Yecheng. It's not that I, Yuan Shao, don't want to do it, it's that the local people are against you, Lu Xuan.
Shen Pei's eyes also lit up, and he quickly said: "Ju Junshi's strategy, I think it is feasible."
One by one, the counselors expressed their opinions.
All supported.
Tian Feng snorted, with a noncommittal attitude, without expressing his position at all.
Yuan Shao quickly weighed and concluded that he had no intention of keeping Yuan Shang. If Yuan Shang stayed to fight, wouldn't it be a waste if Yuan Shang died in Yecheng? Yuan Shao looked directly at Tian Feng who disagreed, and suddenly he had a plan in mind.
