Agents of the Three Kingdoms

When Guan Jing heard Wang Lei's words, he knew that there was still hope, and he was overjoyed.As long as Wang Lei and Gongsun Zan form an alliance, Guan Jing can successfully complete the task.This time, Gongsun Zan did not send him, but Guan Jing recommended himself and asked to come to Ye County.Guan Jing preconceived that Wang Lei would agree to form an alliance, but he did not expect that the situation would become so complicated.

If you can't complete the task, you won't be able to hand over to Gongsun Zan after you go back.

Guan Jing leaned forward, and said with expectant eyes: "Dare to ask Wang Zhoumu, how can we become an ally with the lord?"

Wang Lei said: "The morale of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period, the two sides form an alliance, what should we do?"

Guan Jing froze for a moment, but did not react.

Guan Jing didn't understand Wang Lei's words.

Wang Lei lamented why Gongsun Zan sent a person with bad words, so he stopped playing dumb riddles and said straight to the point: "In the past, Zhao State and Qin State became allies, and Qin State sent Zi Chu to Zhao as a hostage to finalize the allies of both parties. Relationship. Gongsun Zan wants to form an alliance with Jizhou, so send his son to Ye County."

This time, Guan Jing felt a headache even more.

Gongsun Zan has only one seedling under his knees, Gongsun Xu, so it is impossible to send him to Ye County as a hostage.

Furthermore, Guan Jing understood Gongsun Zan's ambitions.

Gongsun Zan's ambition is not only in Youzhou, but also in the world.Although Gongsun Zan wanted to form an alliance with Wang Lei to avoid future worries, it was impossible for Gongsun Zan to send his son to Jizhou.Just imagine, if Gongsun Xu stayed in Ye County as a hostage, wouldn't Gongsun Xu be put to death once Gongsun Zan and Wang Lei fought in front of the battle?

Guan Jing shook his head with a solemn expression, "Wang Zhoumu, the conditions for the young master to come to Jizhou are too harsh, and the master cannot agree. Please ask Wang Zhoumu to offer suitable conditions, otherwise, the two sides will not be able to reach a consensus."

Wang Lei snorted and said, "The conditions are harsh? What kind of conditions are not harsh in Guan Changshi's opinion?"

There was a strong dissatisfaction in his tone.

Guan Jing was quite anxious in his heart, and after pondering for a long time, he replied: "Wang Zhoumu, I can tell you clearly that it is absolutely impossible to send the young master to Ye County. However, there are unmarried women of the right age in the master's clan. If Wang Zhoumu is willing , I can make the decision for the lord, choose one of them, and marry Wang Zhoumu, and the two parties will become in-laws. In this way, Wang Zhoumu should feel relieved."

Wang Lei smiled coldly, and said disdainfully: "I don't agree with such a condition. Are there fewer women in the world?"

Guan Jing said again: "Since that's the case, what does Wang Zhoumu say?"

Wang Lei said in a deep voice, "Gongsun Zan's son is not allowed to be a hostage. This condition can be changed. The condition for forming an alliance is a thousand horses, not a single horse."

"A thousand horses?"

Guan Jing lost his voice and his face changed drastically.

A thousand horses are enough to form an elite cavalry.

Although Gongsun Zan is located in Youzhou and has a geographical advantage, he can easily obtain war horses, but suddenly asking Gongsun Zan to take out a thousand war horses is tantamount to cutting his flesh and blood on Gongsun Zan.

Such conditions are also very harsh!

Wang Lei stared at Guan Jing, and said in a cold tone: "My patience is limited. If you feel sorry for a thousand horses, then let Gongsun Zan's son come to Ye County. I don't want a single horse. If not, a thousand horses, Not a single horse is missing."

Guan Jing said: "Wang Zhoumu, this condition is really..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Wang Lei interrupted directly, and said: "In my eyes, Yuan Shao is just a grasshopper after autumn, which can be easily wiped out. On the contrary, Liu Yu is not so easy to solve. Gongsun Taishou, as the eunuch, crusades against You Inspector of the state, the next one is the next one. As a shepherd of Jizhou, I have a reason to lead troops into Youzhou. The scene of Gongsun Taishou entering Zhongshan Kingdom in the past may be repeated in Youzhou."

Guan Jing was dripping with cold sweat, and the clothes on his back were already wet.

As Wang Lei said, Gongsun Zan's attack on Liu Yu was a matter of attacking with righteousness.As a Jizhou shepherd, Wang Lei has enough reasons if he wants to intervene.

Furthermore, after such a long time, Wang Lei's strength has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes.

Guan Jing thought about it, and finally gritted his teeth and made a decision.

"Wang Zhoumu, [-] horses is really too much. Can we make a compromise, [-] horses?" Guan Jing had no choice but to reduce the number of horses because he was worried about Wang Lei's meddling in Youzhou's affairs.

Wang Lei smiled in his heart, Guan Jing was defeated!

Wang Lei shook his head and said unquestionably: "A thousand horses, not a single horse is missing."

Guan Jing said again: "Wang Zhoumu, let's discuss again, six hundred horses. Six hundred horses is already my bottom line, I can't increase it."

"Come on!"

Wang Lei looked up to the outside of the hall and ordered.

Guan Jing blinked, wondering what Wang Lei was going to do?

The soldiers walked in, and Wang Lei ordered: "Blast Guan Jing out, hmph, there is no sincerity, what alliance are you talking about? Tell Gongsun Zan, when he and Liu Yu fight, I will personally lead the troops to join in the fun."

The soldiers got the order and immediately walked towards Guan Jing.

Guan Jing didn't expect Wang Lei to be so tough, and quickly said: "Wang Zhoumu, don't worry, don't worry, let me think about it."

Wang Lei waved his hand, and the soldier stepped aside again.

Guan Jing frowned, feeling extremely embarrassed, this matter is really tricky.His face was livid for a while, pale for a while, and kept changing. After a long time, Guan Jing finally made a decision, nodded and said: "A thousand horses, I promise!"

After finishing speaking, Guan Jing sat down slumped, with a helpless expression.

Wang Lei nodded, waved his hand, and the soldiers standing next to Guan Jing left the hall.

Seeing this, Guan Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that in Guan Jing's mind, he has already started to think about how to persuade Gongsun Zan after returning home?

A faint smile appeared on Wang Lei's face again, and he said with a smile: "Guan Changshi is indeed straightforward. If Guan Changshi doesn't dislike it and stays at the house for a meal, then I will clean up the dust for Guan Changshi."

After paying a huge price, Guan Jing at this moment has no appetite at all.Guan Jing shook his head and said: "Wangzhou Mu, time is running out, I have to go back to Youzhou, I won't stay any longer."

"Wait a minute!"

Wang Lei waved his hand to stop it.

Guan Jing said: "Wang Zhoumu, is there anything else?"

Wang Lei smiled slightly, and said in a calm manner: "Guan Changshi, the matter of the thousand horses has been confirmed, but there is still an important issue. The time for the horses to be delivered has not yet been set. Starting today, we will Give Gongsun Zan two months. If the thousand horses have not been sent to Jizhou after two months, then I think the alliance has broken."

Guan Jing nodded and replied, "Don't worry Wang Zhoumu, it will be delivered in two months."

"Farewell!" Guan Jing turned and left the hall, disappearing from Wang Lei's sight.

The corners of Wang Lei's mouth rose, feeling very happy in his heart.

In fact, even if Gongsun Zan did not seek an alliance with Wang Lei, Wang Lei still planned to meet with Gongsun Zan to discuss the matter of forming an alliance.If Wang Lei wanted to destroy Yuan Shao, he had to resolve the surrounding unstable factors. Gongsun Zan's occupation of Zhongshan Kingdom was one of the unstable factors.But Wang Lei did not expect that Gongsun Zan asked for an alliance and gave him a thousand horses for nothing.
