That man was Gong Du’s own brother, ranked fifth, and the cottage called him Gong Wu. This Gong Wu was so much trusted by Gong Du that he didn’t care about it, and said with a flattering smile: " Yes, yes, I told the two generals. Xincai sent someone to tell him what General Liu was speaking for. I don’t know if he should be allowed in, so I asked the two generals to make a decision."
Gong Du nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Liu Pei and said, "Junior Brother Liu, could it be that you have come to us to write a war note? Do you want to see me?"
If he followed Gong Du’s past style, he would have killed the people sent by the government a long time ago, and there would be nonsense, but because Liu Pi had just proposed peace talks, Gong Du held his temper and asked. Ask Liu Pi’s opinion,
Liu Pei pondered: "From my younger brother's point of view, it is better to see them. At least we can clarify their intentions. As for whether the peace talks can be made, we will see the opportunity when the time comes. Anyway, the initiative is in our hands. Talking, it’s not that we have the final say,"
To their disappointment, what came in was only a messenger who could not decide anything. However, the letter brought by the messenger passed through their hands, and the faces of both of them were uncertain. An indecisive look,
The letter first pointed out the situation of Gong Du and Liu Pi. Xincai, the gateway to the south of Pingyu, had been captured, and it was only an advanced force that captured Xincai. Next, there will be 60,000 troops approaching. Then I turned to the main topic, reminding Gong Du and Liu Pei that if they want to save their lives, they only have to recognize the situation and talk to Xincai as soon as possible. Maybe they can win some glory and wealth.
Liu Pi dropped the letter in his hand and hesitated: "If it is really as stated in the letter, Yuan Shu still has 60,000 troops coming afterwards, this Pingyu City can't be defended, but I don’t know the glory promised to us in the letter. Whether wealth can be fulfilled is a dilemma."
"Be careful to make the Wannian Ship," Gong Du waved his hand and said, "Junior Brother Liu, what we can rely on to live up to now is the word "careful". Xin Cai, the two of us, are absolutely not allowed to go. If you want to talk, just Let them come to Ping Yu,"
Such a result, as early as Jian Yong expected, he did not expect Gong Du and Liu Pi to venture to Xincai. The reason why he invited Gong Du and Liu Pi to Xincai was to reveal to them a message of peace talks. To test if they had any desire for peace talks, and learned that Gong Du and Liu Pei asked him to go to Pingyu for talks, Jian Yong agreed without thinking.
When Jian Yong appeared in the lobby of the Runan Prefect’s Mansion in Pingyu City, Gong Du and Liu Pi secretly admired Jian Yong’s courage. You must know that Jian Yong was not a brave general of the three armies, but just a handless military commander. The thin and weak scribe of the strength of the chicken can take the risk personally, which shows that he is full of sincerity in coming this time.
When Gong Du saw Jian Yong coming in person, he was even more anxious than Liu Pi. After all, no one wanted to live the days of hiding in the deep mountains and old forests. Gong Du quickly led Jian Yong to sit down and give a salute. Said: "Master Jane, you said in your letter that you want to give Gong and Junior Brother Liu a splendor and wealth. Now there are only two people, Gong and Junior Brother Liu. If you have anything to say, your lord."
Jian Yong saw that Gong Du was very diligent in his words, and he couldn't help but increase his confidence in his peaceful trip. He smiled and said, "Although the two generals are knowledgeable about current affairs, they are truly brilliant, now my army is on the road. In the near future, if the two generals continue to resist, there is only one dead end. However, my father-in-law is kind and can't bear to see the lives of people squandered. He ordered Jane to come and show the two generals a clear path."
Liu Pi stood up with a look of disdain, and said loudly: "Yuan Shu's nag was violently confiscated in Runan, so that the people didn't have a chance to live, but he dared to say that he was kind by nature, and he was not afraid of people ridiculed by the world."
Jian Yong laughed and said: "General Liu's words are wrong. Yuan Shu will die if he does many unrighteous acts. What qualifications does he have to be the lord of Jane? Let's not hide the two generals. My lord is a clan of the Han family. Liu Mingbei, the two generals must have heard of it."
"Liu Bei," Liu Pi cried out, "that big-eared thief, huh, it's not just that I've heard of it, he has a lot of our brother's blood on his hands."
Jian Yong waved his hand indifferently and said, "General Liu is also a man who has been on the battlefield. Don’t you know that the battlefield is a life and death. At that time, each is the master, but it is not a personal grievance. This is also the case for General Liu. is that clear,"
Gong Du sneered: "Master Jian, let's leave the past aside for now, but Gong has heard that Master Liu recently lost Xuzhou and has already transferred to Yuan Shu. If the Gong brothers treat him as his lord, he might as well go. It’s more appropriate to vote for Yuan Shu. I don’t know what Master Jian has said about it."
Jian Yong's old face blushed slightly, but his mouth was plausible, and said: "The two generals are the old department of the Yellow Turban. I want to come and be familiar with Cao Cao and Liu Xin. Cao Cao went south to seize Xuzhou. Fortunately, my father-in-law designed it to keep it. I hate the tranquility of the people in Xiapi and Guangling counties. I hate Liu Xin’s squad. Taking advantage of our army’s exhaustion and encountering a famine, we suddenly attacked. My patron has a good life. In order to prevent the lives of Xuzhou from being overwhelmed, I have to go to Lujiang temporarily. Under Yuan Shu,"
After a pause, Jian Yong continued to say: "The fourth generation of the Yuan family and the third master, my paternal father thought that Yuan Shu was also a man who was determined to help Sheji, and he was willing to help him fight against Cao Cao and Liu Xin the two thieves. It is expected that Yuan Shu was very ambitious. Actually wanting to take the big man to replace him, and outrageously proclaiming the emperor, it is naturally impossible for our master to be in the same foul with him.
Gong Du and Liu Pi were shocked when they heard the news that Yuan Shu was proclaiming emperor. Liu Piju didn’t believe him and stood up and asked, "What did you say, Yuan Shu has proclaimed emperor."
In fact, the news of Yuan Shu's proclaiming the emperor has not reached here, and Jian Yong is not sure, but this is a strategy he negotiated with Liu Bei. He believes that Liu Bei's Jinxian's Jade Seal will be able to successfully persuade Yuan Shu to proclaim the emperor in order to subdue it. Gong Du and Liu Pi, he simply revealed this still uncertain news in advance.
Jian Yong said with a smile: "This matter is still classified. However, since my father-in-law intends to recruit two generals, he will naturally not hide anything from the two generals. If it is not what my father-in-law expected, Cao Cao and Liu Xin will not be able to do so. Inside, they will wipe out the guise of rebellion, and build their own troops. I don’t know if the two generals have thought that Runan’s position is justified and whether he can resist these two tigers and wolves."
Gong Du and Liu Pi couldn't help laughing in unison. This is nothing, it's like a fire at the gate of the city, causing Chiyu. The mobs of them can't even beat Jian Yong's 10,000 horses. How can they resist Cao Cao and Liu Xin's two armies
Liu Pichao and Gong gave a wink, which means that we should retreat into the mountains as soon as possible. Although the world of flowers here is good, it is not a place of long love.
Jian Yong took all the changes on the faces of the two people into his eyes, smiled, and continued: "As General Gong said, it is better to vote for Yuan Shu to vote for my Patriarch. Jian Mou dare not agree. Yuan Shu is cruel in nature. , The two generals occupied Runan and killed Yuan Shu’s confidant Han Yin. Is he willing to let the two generals go?"
Han Yin finally reached a reconciliation agreement with Liu Xin because of his previous mission to Xiangyang. Yuan Shu’s praise was greatly appreciated, so he appointed him as the prefect of Runan. In fact, Yuan Shu also knew that Han Yin’s talents were real. Such an appointment also takes into account that Han Yin and Liu Xin have dealt with each other, and Runan is adjacent to Yingchuan. In case of any conflict, where Han Yin is, it is more conducive to negotiation with each other.
After Gong Du and Liu Pi captured Pingyu, Han Yin could not escape and was caught alive. According to Gong Du’s intention, he wanted to keep Han Yin a hostage, but Liu Pei fell in love with one of Han Yin’s The little concubine insisted on cutting him off, and now after Jianyong’s reminder, Gong couldn’t help turning his head and staring at Liu Pi fiercely.
Liu Pi was a little guilty and did not dare to suggest that Gong Du was retreating to the mountains. Jian Yong said in reverse, "My brothers have already believed in the sincerity of Master Liu, but they don’t know how to escape Cao Cao and Liu Xin. s attack,"
Jian Yong laughed and said, "As long as the two generals submit to my lord, they will join forces in one place. There are tens of thousands of people. Although the attack is insufficient, there are more than rules. At that time, my lord’s guild will send a message to the world and discuss together. Yuan Shu, this rebel, my Patriarch performed this righteous deed. Even if Cao Cao and Liu Xin are fierce and stubborn, they would not dare to risk the world’s disgrace to attack Runan."
Gong didn't realize that he was a little moved, and he quickly said, "I don't know the glory and wealth that Master Jian just promised..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jian Yong nodded and said, "If the two generals can return to my lord, they will be the right arm of my lord. It is better to be a thief here. Moreover, if my lord raises the banner of righteousness in Runan, he will definitely wave his head south. , Instead of taking Lujiang, Yuan Shu has been operating in Lujiang for many years. There are many Jinbo women in the city. Are you afraid that there will be two generals missing?"
No one under Liu Bei is available, so Jian Yong’s statement that Gong Du and Liu Pi will become Liu Bei’s right-hand man is not a lie. As for the road to the south to take the Lujiang River, Liu Bei and Jian Yong had originally negotiated a plan, not counting the fifty thousand Xuzhou that Liu Bei brought over. The army, Yuan Shu’s men originally had more than 200,000 horses, but Shou Chun was unable to capture them for a long time. In addition, they had lost a lot in the hands of Gong Du and Liu Pi. Today, 100,000 people are still trapped in Shouchun. Another 30,000 were brought out by Liu Bei, plus the 30,000 defending Qiaojun, Lujiang’s true strength would not exceed 40,000. At this time, if Liu Bei had a counter-attack, the odds of winning would still be quite high, and he would pass the country’s jade seal. It’s not impossible to come back,
Gong Du and Liu Pi rebelled, first to feed their stomachs, and secondly they wanted to live a good life. After hearing the bright prospects of Jian Yong’s plan, they were all overjoyed, and they quickly ordered a wine to be served for Jian Yong.
Hearing Gong Du and Liu Pei’s instructions to put down a banquet, Jian Yong’s heart finally fell to the ground. Although the various matters have not been finalized, the reconciliation of the two is only a matter of time. He is here. After all, the mission was fulfilled, and there was no thought. This wine was naturally drunk and was extraordinarily refreshing. The two sides negotiated many things, including the placement of the old and weak yellow turbans, which made Gong Du and Liu Pei very satisfied.
At this time, Gong Wu quietly walked in and whispered a few words in Gong Du’s ear, Gong Du’s expression changed drastically.
