Agents of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 584 Sending envoys to seek peace

When he came to the courtyard, the housekeeper looked at Gongsun Zan's room fearfully, and said, "Chang Changshi wants to wake up the governor, so you have to knock on the door yourself and I'll go first."

The housekeeper hurriedly left the yard and did not stay any longer

Guan Jing shook his robe and strode forward to the door. Guan Jing said, "My lord, Guan Jing, please see me." However, there was no sound in the room.

After waiting for a while, Guan Jing said again: "My lord, Guan Jing, please see me."

There was a rustling sound in the room, but it quickly returned to calm.

"My lord and minister Guan Jing asks for an audience"

Guan Jing stood outside the room, raised his voice and shouted loudly

"coming"

An impatient voice came from the room [

It's not long before the door opens

"call out"

The moment the door opened, a cold light pierced Guan Jing's chest

Guan Jing stood there motionless

Gongsun Zan felt irritable and angry, and wanted to teach Guan Jing a lesson with his sword, but seeing Guan Jing not dodging or avoiding his eyes, he hurriedly withdrew his sword, and finally the long sword stopped three inches from Guan Jing's chest without piercing Guan Jing's. Gongsun Zan glared fiercely at Guan Jing and said impatiently, "Come in."

Guan Jing entered the room, but his back was already wet with sweat

The action just now was Guan Jing betting with his life that Gongsun Zan would not kill him

Fortunately he was lucky enough

After Guan Jing entered the room and sat down, he saw Gongsun Zan's face clearly. At this time, Gongsun Zan's face was pale, his lips were dry, his eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was more decadent.

The high-spirited Gongsun Zan has already become a thing of the past

Gongsun Zan casually dropped the long sword in his hand and sat cross-legged, asking, "What can you do with me?"

Guan Jing replied, "My lord, don't you know the current situation?"

Gongsun Zan sighed softly, "So what can I do if I know? No matter what, I can't change the situation." His words were full of regret. Because Tai Shici was invincible after entering Youzhou, Gongsun Zan was already disheartened. He seems to have seen the scene of Yuan Shaozhong rebelling against relatives in the past

There is no difference between him today and Yuan Shao in the past

Guan Jing said: "My lord, we are only temporarily defeated by Wang Lei. We haven't failed yet. If the lord continues to be decadent, the final outcome will be death and family annihilation. Please take care of the family and the many civil servants and generals who follow the lord." The spirit leads everyone to prepare for battle”[

Gongsun Zan said, "Even if I cheer up, what good is it?"

Guan Jing said: "The useful lord asks Wang Lei for peace to give Youzhou a chance to breathe."

Gongsun Zan sneered twice and said, "Guan Jing, you are also a smart person, why can't you even analyze this matter clearly? If you are Wang Lei, can you accept the peace?"

Guan Jing said stubbornly: "How will you know if you don't try it? During the crusade against Dong Zhuo, the lord and Wang Lei have a very good relationship and become confidantes. As long as you show affection, Wang Lei will probably let the lord go."

"The idea is good but the reality is cruel"

Gongsun Zan said in a deep voice: "If Wang Lei would take into account the old friendship, he would not dispatch an army to enter Youzhou after taking back the Zhongshan Kingdom. The matter has now become impossible for Wang Lei to let it go. If it were Yuan Shao who would do more work, let Yuan Shao's officials and his wife blow Yuan Shao away. If my ears are soft, I might spare my life. However, Wang Lei is different. Wang Lei was born in a poor family. He is most concerned about practical interests. He came to Youzhou for the sake of profit. Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat. You and a wolf can’t make a friendship."

Guan Jing said: "Since Wang Lei is doing it for profit, let him benefit."

Gongsun Zan asked, "What are your plans?"

Guan Jing said solemnly: "Tai Shici led the army to enter Zhuojun and did not take Zhuojun for the time being. In this way, ceded Zhuojun to Wang Lei and asked Wang Lei to stop the army. As long as Wang Lei lets the lord stay in Youzhou, there is still a chance to stand up."

Gongsun Zan said: "If Wang Lei disagrees, in fact, if I gain an absolute advantage, I will definitely capture the entire Youzhou in one fell swoop and won't give the enemy half a chance."

Guan Jing said: "At this point, we can only try."

Gongsun Zan thought for a while and then said, "To put it another way, what are you going to do if Wang Lei refuses to accept the proposal of ceding Zhuo County?"

Guan Jing said: "At that point, it depends on the master's plan."

Gongsun Zan asked, "What suggestion?"

Guan Jing said: "If Wang Lei does not agree to accept Zhuojun's proposal, at this stage, please ask the lord to surrender to Wang Lei, as long as Wang Lei agrees to the lord, there is still a glimmer of hope."

"Professor" Gongsun Zan couldn't help laughing and said with desolation and disdain in his eyes, "Will a gangster in Ye County want me, Gongsun Zan, to be a vassal?"

Guan Jing's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words

These words are Gongsun Zan's true views on Wang Lei. In Gongsun Zan's heart, Wang Lei has always been a gangster from Ye County, not the famous Jizhou shepherd Wang Lei.

Guan Jing said, "My lord, what are your plans?"

Guan Jing was not reconciled to saying these words and wanted to give it a try

just in case

What if Gongsun Zan agrees?

Gongsun Zan flicked his sleeves and said, "It is absolutely impossible to become a minister."

Guan Jing felt cold and said: "Since this is the case, I will try the method of ceding Zhuo County to seek peace. If it succeeds, the Lord will have a chance to breathe and fight back."

"Go, go, just let it go"

Gongsun Zan waved his hand impatiently

Guan Jing got up to say goodbye and just walked out of the door, it slammed shut, Guan Jing looked back at the room where the door was closed, shook his head and strode away to the present step Immediately send envoys to Zhuojun to meet with Tai Shici

When the envoys arrived from Jixian, Tai Shici had already arrived in Zhuo County, the prefecture of Zhuo County.

The county magistrate of Zhuo County has also surrendered Jucheng

The envoys in the military camp met Tai Shici

After saluting, the envoy said: "My lord, General Taishi, often recalls the scene of his acquaintance with Wang Zhoumu in the past, and he is very moved by how his old friend has come to this point."

Tai Shici said coldly: "Your Excellency should be very clear about how to develop to this point."

The envoy smiled awkwardly but said neither humble nor overbearing: "What happened at the beginning was indeed my lord's fault. The lord has already had a deep reflection on this matter. In view of this, the lord is willing to make peace with Wang Zhoumu and cede Zhuojun to Wang Zhoumu to compensate Wang Zhoumu. Loss"

The envoy's eyes are full of expectations

Before leaving, Guan Jing took him by the hand, put the future of Youzhou in his hands, and told him to do his best to complete the task no matter what.
