Chapter 386: Gongsun Zan's Reaction
Seeing Huangfu Chaobo's appearance, Gongsun Yue immediately jumped out and said, "Hey, don't worry about Chaobo, if you really want to build a city outside the Great Wall, then I will definitely persuade elder brother to send troops to Junmi, so that , in case something happens, just send someone from Chaobo to tell us, and we will definitely do our best to help!"
"That's right... Don't worry Chaobo, I will go with the second general to persuade the general." Yan Gang also said immediately;
"If Chaobo is not at ease, I will personally lead a thousand white horse righteous servants and three thousand infantry guards. You must know that now the elder brother has only 10,000 righteous servants in total, so you should feel relieved about Chaobo now! If something really happens, we must let the elder brother do his best to help from the army." In order to get Huangfu Chaobo to agree, Gongsun Yue continued;
Seeing that Gongsun and Yue had already gone to the ditch, Huangfu gave Tian Yu a sneaky look, and then continued to pretend to be a little moved but hesitated: "This...Brother Gongsun is serious?"
"We have been friends for so many years, doesn't Chaobo still believe in me, Gongsun Yue?" Gongsun Yue stood up, slapped his chest loudly and said loudly;
"It's not that I don't believe in Brother Gongsun, it's just that the matter is very important. I need to think carefully before making a decision. Brother Gongsun, please forgive me!" Huangfu Chaobo still refused to agree, but his tone was a little loose.
"Hey!" Gongsun Yue was about to say more, but he was stopped by Yan Gang, who said: "It's okay, Chaobo might as well think about it, let's drink first today..."
Gongsun Yue was puzzled at first, and then saw Yan Gang winking at himself. Although he didn't know the reason, he consciously stopped talking. Several people continued the banquet until late at night before ending the banquet.
Gongsun Yue, who returned to the county government office, didn't have the mind to rest at all, but took Yan Gang to his room, and after asking the maid to bring hangover soup, he couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Yan, why did you hold me back just now?" ?”
Yan Gang, as Gongsun Zan's subordinates, several important generals who started with him, whether it is Gongsun Zan himself or the two brothers Gongsun Yue, they all respect them, which is why Gongsun Zan wants to use Yan Gang as Gongsun Yue's deputy s reason.
"Second General, although General Huangfu is now moved, he still has some worries after all. We can't make decisions about some things. After all, the general can only be counted if he talks to him in person, so instead of us making peace here with empty teeth He keeps talking, so it's better to convince the general first and let the general talk with General Huangfu. I'm afraid that if we talk more, it will arouse general Huangfu's resentment instead!" Yan Gang said;
"That's right, that's right. I'm too impatient. In this case, let's write a letter to the eldest brother immediately, and have someone send it to Tuyin immediately, so that the eldest brother can make a decision." Gongsun Yue immediately realized that no matter what he said, he was not the master of the Gongsun family. Master, it's no wonder Huangfu Chaobo hesitated.
The two of them did what they said, and quickly wrote down the detailed process of the whole thing, and then sent people to Tuyin City overnight to hand it over to Gongsun Zan.
As soon as Gongsun Yue's men left the city, Huangfu Chaobo knew immediately. Huangfu Chaobo and Tian Yu who got the news smiled at each other, knowing that their strategy was half successful, and then they waited for what Gongsun Zan would think.
Gongsun Yue's urgent letter arrived at the prefect's mansion in Tuyin City in the early morning. When Gongsun Zan received the urgent letter from his second brother, he was shocked, thinking that something had happened to the Great Wall defense line. He opened it and found out what happened. From the beginning to the end, after reading the letter before and after, Gongsun Zan also fell into a tangle. After thinking for a while, Gongsun Zan asked people to call all the generals in Tuyin City for reference. Soon Guan Jing, Shan Jing, Zou Dan, and Wang Men all rushed to the prefect's mansion. As for Tian Kai and Gongsun Fan who had been stationed in Fan County, Gongsun Zan gave everyone the letters from Gongsun Yue and Yan Gang. After looking at it, he said: "What do you think about what the second brother and Yan Gang said?"
The three of Shanjing are not their directors in terms of internal affairs, but they know that with one more city, they will have more chances to dominate one side.
Therefore, the opinions of the two can be said to be in favor of both hands. Gongsun Zan also knew that these people may have limited suggestions, so he still put his hope on Guan Jing. As Gongsun Zan's chief counselor, although Guan Jing is not even a second-rate, Guan Jing actually gave Gongsun Zan a lot of ideas.
After reading the letter, Guan Jing sat there and pondered for a while, and after several generals expressed their opinions, Guan Jing stood up and said, "My lord, Jing also thinks that the plan of the Second General and General Yan is feasible. Junmi was originally a county in Youbeiping, but because Junmi was alone outside the Great Wall, even though it was backed by the Great Wall, there was no danger to defend. After being abandoned, our army never brought it under Youbeiping's rule. Now that General Huangfu intends to build a city outside the Great Wall, Junmi City will not be as it used to be, facing the front of foreign soldiers, our army only needs one general, and thousands of soldiers can hold a city firmly. In time, it can be restored It was prosperous in the past. It’s just that General Huangfu is still hesitating, and the lord still needs to have a heart-to-heart talk with him, and promise that the two armies will be allies to each other, and if the foreign race comes to attack, the lord will definitely bring an army to help.”
After hearing this, Gongsun Zan thought it was true, but he was afraid that Huangfu Chaobo would not be impressed by the light so much, and said: "The words of Shiqi are in line with my wishes, but Huangfu Chaobo is no longer an unknown soldier who was shut down by the Great Wall outside Xu Wucheng. I'm so afraid that I won't be able to impress him!"
"My lord is wise, so we have to be prepared to give something. After all, we need to use people as guns. Besides, Huangfu Chaobo is now a fourth-rank official in the imperial court, the guard of a county, and with the support of the Huangfu family in the north." There is also the disciple of Zhu Jun, a famous scholar in the world. If he wants to impress his lord, he must be prepared to pay. However, according to the letter of the second general, the prefect of Huangfu should still be a person who cherishes old love, so he should not open his mouth like a lion Yes." Guan Jing said;
"Then according to Shiqi's intention, what kind of requirements does Huangfu Super Expo put forward? In other words, what should our bottom line be?" Gongsun Zan nodded while listening, and said after a little consideration;
"According to what the Second General said, he has proposed that we can garrison 4,000 troops in Junmi, including 1,000 Baima Yicong and 3,000 infantry. Jing thought that this number of troops would definitely not satisfy General Huangfu. Thousands of soldiers and horses can only maintain the guard of a county, but it is far from enough to support others. Therefore, the number of infantry can remain unchanged, but the number of cavalry should be increased to 4,000. , Only when the number of cavalry reaches thousands of cavalry can it be quickly reinforced. Also, you can tell General Huangfu that our army still has thousands of troops stationed at the Great Wall pass, and we can also reinforce them when the time comes." Guan Jing said;
