Chapter 644: Persuasion

After a long time, Kong Min let out a long sigh, then turned to look at Huangfu Chaobo and said: "I am very angry about this matter. However, if the Yuzhou army sends troops to Nanyang, it is not what I want."

Seeing Huangfu Chaobo about to stand up and speak, Kong Min stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "I know Chaobo's meaning very well. Please listen to what I have to say first."

As he said that, he walked slowly to his seat and continued: "There are two reasons for this. One is that the war will destroy all lives, which is really not what I want; the other is that the Yuan family can do this without a king or father. But I can't ignore the court's decency."

"Uncle, Yuan Shu has committed such heinous crimes in our two provinces of Henan. Can we just let him act wantonly? If he is not punished, he really thinks that there is no one in our province. He will wait next time After he has rested, he will send troops to invade again." Huangfu Chaobo was stunned, but he didn't expect that Pang Tong had actually guessed that the matter would develop for the worst, so he stood up and persuaded him;

Huangfu Chaobo's words surprised Kong Min. Yes, he considered the court's decency and did not want to engage in war. But with the temperament of the Yuan family, why would Qi Hui be so willing to give up? Kong Niao, who was on the throne, had a gloomy and uncertain expression. He was obviously in extreme hesitation. After a long time, he slowly shook his head.

When Kong Nian was about to speak, Pang Tong, who was behind Huangfu Chaobo, stood up, stepped forward and saluted: "Xiangyang Pang Tong pays homage to the boss!"

"Oh, Mr. Xiangyang Pang Shiyuan, known as 'Feng Chu', who helped Chaobo break the three-way siege?" Kong Min was a little unhappy when he saw someone interrupting him, but when he heard Pang Tong's name, he was immediately As soon as he lit up, he looked at Pang Tongdao with interest;

Other Yuzhou officers and generals in the field also looked at Pang Tong with great interest. Everyone was already aware of his famous name. Ever since he defeated the three-pronged attack on Sizhou's soldiers and horses with his own strength, Chu Fengchu cried and shocked the whole world. The princes from all walks of life already know the name of Feng Chu.

"I don't dare to hide it, Sir, it's just me." Pang Tong replied respectfully;

"That's great," Kong Min was overjoyed and quickly bowed to Pang Tong and said, "How should I act? Please teach me, Mr. Pang!"

Seeing this, Pang Tong turned sideways to avoid Kong Ni's salute and said: "I don't dare to be called Sir, Sir. If Sir, I don't mind, you can call me Xiaozi, Shi Yuan."

Seeing that Pang Tong was so knowledgeable about books and etiquette, everyone present secretly nodded in approval. He was worthy of being the disciple of Mr. Shui Jing of Lumen Villa, and his etiquette was impeccable.

"Okay, I am not a pedantic person, just like Shi Yuan said, but you still want Shi Yuan to teach me how to deal with this matter?" Kong Ni stroked his beard and said with a smile;

"Tong himself knows what the boss is thinking, but Yuan Shu and his staff must not let him do whatever he wants. Otherwise, his ambition and the influence of the Yuan family in Runan, Nanyang will eventually lead to a catastrophe." As he said, Pang Tong Looking up at Kong Ni, he saw that his body was trembling slightly, but although the amplitude was very small, it was still visible in his eyes.

"Therefore, in Tong's view, what General Pingdong and Zongheng County Magistrate said is imperative, but the intensity needs to be controlled. According to Tong's view, the army can approach Wan County, but it cannot capture Wan. County, let Yuan Shu withdraw from Nanyang after seeing the strength of our army."

"After all, considering the situation of our two families, it is not realistic to occupy Nanyang, and the princes of Guandong will not allow it. However, the counties east of Nanyang, especially Ye County, must be controlled by our Yuzhou. In this way, Nanyang and Now that all the passages in Yuzhou are under my control, I am not afraid of Yuan Shu attacking the Yingchuan lands from Nanyang. As for other cities, it is better not to occupy too many, otherwise it will cause dissatisfaction among other princes."

Then Pang Tong talked a lot more eloquently, analyzing the situation of the two armies, how the army would advance, which cities needed to be captured, and which cities only needed to be bypassed.

Regarding the issue of sending troops, Pang Tong also suggested that the Yuzhou army does not need to be dispatched, but only needs to make a posture of massing the army, and the actual troops only need to send troops from the two cities of Changshe and Luyang, plus tens of thousands of Sizhou troops. After all, after the Luoyang War, the Nanyang Army lost all its elite troops.

Although the troops are now replenished, the combat strength is not so easy to restore.

After some analysis, everyone in Yuzhou nodded repeatedly, and everyone was eager to try it. In short, there is one sentence: everyone does not need to go out to send troops, but in the end when the benefits are reaped, everyone must have a share.

If Kong Niao's army doesn't move, it will be easier to explain to the princes. If that doesn't work, just hand over a few of Zongheng Tianxia, ​​so that everyone can stop talking.

After much deliberation, Kong Min finally agreed to Huangfu Chaobo's decision to send troops. Not only that, he also hinted that if Zongheng Tianxia could capture several cities in Nanyang, he would only need to hand over half of the profits, but all the cities could be handed over to him. He will, of course, hand over the post of Changshe County Magistrate.

After hearing this, Zongheng Tianxia took the opportunity to propose that he wanted to form a special army of 2,000 soldiers, but he did not select enough suitable soldiers in Changshe. After hearing this, Kong Ni, hearing that he knew Xian Xian, immediately asked him to lead people to the state army camp to select soldiers. , to gather up two thousand troops.

Not only that, Kong Nian also expressed generously that whether they were soldiers from Changshe City or the state army, their families could be moved away together from Zongheng Tianxia.

In this way, everyone is happy, both the host and the guest are happy.

After the political discussions were completed, the next step was private time. Kong Niao hosted a banquet for Huangfu Chaobo and his entourage in the Prefectural Mufu Mansion.

Early the next morning, Huangfu Chaobo led everyone to leave Zhaiyang and return to Luoyang via Luyang. Although this trip did not achieve the best results, it was able to achieve such a result, at least they did not return empty-handed.

Now that it has been decided that Zongheng Tianxia and Shacuolang will go to the battle, then only the two of them need to prepare. However, it will take at least a month for them to be ready.

As for the troops of Sizhou, Huangfu Chaobo plans to send Huang Zhong's Huben Camp and his own guard camp to go to the battle this time, while Zhao Yun's Longxiang Army will stay in Luoyang.

After leaving Luyang, Huangfu Chaobo did not rush back to Luoyang, but walked along the official road and stopped all the way, and roughly inspected each county pass. Walking and stopping along the way, it was not until the end of May that he returned to Luoyang City.

On May 28th, Zhao Zilong told everyone in the alliance channel that his army had arrived in Wuyuan County, only three or four miles away from Jiuyuan City. After joining Huangfu Chaobo's cavalry tomorrow, they will launch an attack on Jiuyuan City.
