Agents of the Three Kingdoms

Cao Cao took Cheng Yu and Xia Houyuan back, stayed in Ye County for two days, then bid farewell, and took Cheng Yu and Xia Houyuan back to Yanzhou.After Cao Cao left, Wang Lei's focus shifted to the academy, Jizhou government affairs, and preparations for war.

Jizhou, a large city, has a lot of affairs, and Wang Lei is also very busy.

State Shepherd's Mansion, Study Room.

Jia Xu sat in front of Wang Lei and said, "My lord, the envoy from Youzhou, Gongsun Zan sent Guan Jing to visit."

"Gongsun Zan's envoy?" Wang Lei asked, "What is the purpose?"

Jia Xu said: "According to the news from Tai Shici of Julu County, Gongsun Zan sent Guan Jing to Ye County with the intention of becoming an ally with the lord and not aggressing each other."

Wang Lei picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and thought carefully.

Suddenly, with a smile on the corner of Wang Lei's mouth, he said, "So, Gongsun Zan has already started fighting with Liu Yu of Youzhou? Or, Gongsun Zan is planning to seize Youzhou."

Jia Xu nodded and said: "My lord is a lesson! The conflict between Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu broke out completely. Right now, Gongsun Zan has recruited troops and has already made a gesture of attacking Liu Yu. Liu Yu's character is weak, and the two sides fought. The final result must be Liu Yu's defeat. "

Wang Lei was silent for a moment, and asked, "Sir, how many chess pieces have you placed in Youzhou?"

Jia Xu said: "Even if there are few people to lure and win over, the time is short after all."

Wang Lei ordered: "It doesn't matter if there are fewer people. Let the people who are stationed in Youzhou more or less cause trouble for Gongsun Zan, so that the war between the two sides can continue. When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits, and both Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu suffer. That is the best result. After we have eliminated Yuan Shao, we will transfer our troops to avenge Gongsun Zan's past invasion of Jizhou."

Jia Xu nodded, agreeing with Wang Lei's statement.

Wang Lei asked again: "In Chang'an, how about the chess pieces placed?"

"Slight progress!"

Jia Xu smiled slightly, and there was a hint of confidence in his eyes.

Wang Lei didn't ask about the specific situation of Chang'an, but nodded, and said: "The Anbu was formed too late, but it is the most important department, and further efforts are needed. Sir, thank you for your hard work."

Jia Xu shook her head quickly, got up and left the study.

……

Ye County, at the gate of the city.

On this day, a carriage came slowly.

Around the carriage, a group of warriors accompanied them.This team arrived at the gate of the city, revealed their identities to the soldiers guarding the gate, and the soldiers let them go directly.The carriage directly entered the city, drove slowly, and finally stopped at an inn.After the accompanying personnel were settled, the carriage went to the State Shepherd's Mansion and stopped outside the gate.

The curtain of the carriage door was rolled up, and a man in a sky blue robe stepped down.

This person is Guan Jing, Gongsun Zan's long history.When he came to the gate, he sent someone to hand over the name badge.Not long after, a servant from the mansion came out and led Guan Jing into the hall.

Sitting in the hall, Guan Jing looked confident, and he was very confident about this mission.

Footsteps came from outside the door.

Guan Jing looked back, the person who came was tall, tall and majestic, it was Wang Lei.Guan Jing didn't dare to neglect, stood up quickly, and said respectfully: "Chang Shi Guan Jing, I met Wang Zhoumu!"

"Guan Changshi, please sit down!"

Wang Lei waved his hand and came to the hall to sit down.

Guan Jing sat down again, and said straight to the point: "Before I went to Jizhou as an envoy, I sent someone to inform Wang Zhoumu of the purpose of coming to Ye County, so I won't go into details. My lord intends to become an ally with Wang Zhoumu and help each other. What does Wang Zhoumu think?" ?”

There was a hint of superiority in his tone.

As the long history of Gongsun Zan, Guan Jing is the No.1 under Gongsun Zan's command, with great power.

This time I am here as an envoy, with great confidence.

Wang Lei looked calm, and said: "I met Gongsun Taishou as before, and we are good friends. From the standpoint of a friend, I am willing to form an ally with Gongsun Taishou. However, from the standpoint of Jizhou Mu, I am very worried about the alliance. "

Guan Jing frowned and said, "Why?"

Wang Lei replied: "In the past, when Han Fu was the shepherd of Jizhou, Gongsun Zan and Han Fu became allies. However, Yuan Shao lured him with benefits, and Gongsun Zan quietly deserted his allies and directly sent troops to attack Zhongshan. The situation in the past is vivid in my mind, can I trust the prefect Gongsun?"

In an instant, Guan Jing's face changed drastically.

I thought it would be easy to form an alliance, but I didn't expect to be made things difficult.

For a moment, Guan Jing was out of control.

This scene fell into Wang Lei's eyes, and Wang Lei couldn't help but sigh softly, Gongsun Zan sent a person with extremely poor psychological quality, and it was really unreasonable.After a long time, Guan Jing calmed down his restless mood.

Guan Jing smiled and said, "This time, that time. The situation at that time was different from what it is now."

"Oh, what's the difference?" Wang Lei said with a smile.

Guan Jing rolled his eyes and had an idea, and replied: "In the past, Han Fu was in charge of Jizhou. Han Fu's character is well known. Han Fu is indecisive and self-willed. Such a person cannot stand in troubled times. As for Yuan Shao, although Han Fu is also quite famous, but Yuan Shao came from the Yuan family. Even though Yuan Shao is only the prefect of Bohai County, Yuan Shao's energy and character are stronger than Han Fu. Comparing the two, it is impossible for the lord to Han Fu instead of a better ally."

Wang Lei sneered and said, "Since you have a better ally like Yuan Shao, why are you looking for me?"

Guan Jing replied again: "Although Yuan Shao is strong, he is far inferior to Wangzhou Mu. Even though Yuan Shao is from a good background, Wangzhou shepherd is popular in Jizhou, and his prestige is as high as the sun. Yuan Shao and Wang Zhoumu fought with eggs against stones. My lord and Wouldn't it be better for Wang Zhoumu to form an alliance and join forces?"

Wang Lei laughed loudly, and couldn't help but said, "Can I understand this, if Gongsun Zan finds a better ally, then he will abandon Jizhou and form an alliance with the rest?"

Guan Jing's complexion changed drastically again, and he frowned even more.

Forming an alliance is a combination of interests!

However, Wang Lei's entanglement made it very difficult for Guan Jing to deal with.

Guan Jing forced himself to calm down, and said slowly: "Don't lie to Wang Zhoumu, the lord is about to attack Liu Yu. And right now, Wang Zhoumu is also going to attack Yuan Shao. It is beneficial for both parties to form an ally. If Wang Zhoumu disagrees, it is Wang Zhoumu's. loss."

Wang Lei said disdainfully: "Guan Changshi, Jizhou in the past, can it be compared with Jizhou today?"

Guan Jing said, "What difference can there be?"

Wang Lei raised his jaw slightly, and said in a calm manner: "In the old Jizhou, Han Fu was in charge. Yuan Shao attacked Jizhou, and Han Fu was not prepared. Even if I lead troops to fight back, Jizhou does not have enough foundation to fight."

Speaking of this, Wang Lei said loudly: "I have been in charge of Jizhou for nearly two years. In the past two years, do you think Jizhou has not changed? I have Xun Chen, Jushou, Tian Feng, Shenpei and other think tanks under my account, and Wu has Lu Bu. , Dian Wei, Tai Shici, Zhang Jai, Yan Liang and other generals, there are so many talented people, why be afraid of Yuan Shao?"

Wang Lei waved his hand, and said boldly: "Even if Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, Wuhuan and the Yellow Turbans attack Jizhou again, I will not be afraid. If we fight, we will fight. Jizhou is not afraid of anyone."

Guan Jing's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and he said in a deep voice: "So, Wang Zhoumu doesn't plan to form an alliance."

"It's not impossible to form an alliance!"

Wang Lei smiled slightly, with an intriguing smile on the corner of his mouth.
