I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 183 Convincing Gongsun
Hearing Xi Zhicai's words, Gongsun Zan's face was ferocious, and the hatred buried in his heart rushed to his heart again, obviously being scratched by Xi Zhicai.

Although the grievances between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao cannot be called irreconcilable, they are bloody feuds that cannot be resolved with a few sentences.

On the issue of Jizhou, Gongsun Zan was played around by Yuan Shao. Not only did he not get any benefits, but he also lost his army and lost his general. It can be said that he lost his wife and lost his army.Later, the two sides fought a lot for this, and each other won and lost, and this beam was completely settled.

Furthermore, the attack on Bingzhou has already lost the opportunity. It is very sad to break through the Bauhinia Pass, and it is impossible to return home without success. Wouldn't it be a waste of this god-given opportunity.

Gongsun Zan was unwilling in his heart.

When the knife is drawn, there will be blood, even if it is not the enemy, but the ally.

At this time, Tian Kai, who had been standing by the side, saw that Gongsun Zan seemed to have been ignited by Xi Zhicai's few words, and quickly stood up to persuade him: "My lord, our army has an alliance with General Huangfusong, and you must not break the agreement. If you have lost faith, please think twice, my lord. Xi Zhicai has ulterior motives, and his intentions should be punished. Don't be fooled, otherwise you will regret it later."

Tian Kai immediately reminded him, he always felt that this Xizhi had no good intentions, why would he give most of Jizhou to his lord for nothing?Furthermore, right now is indeed the best time to eliminate Li Shimin's army. When this behemoth grows up, Youzhou will naturally be lost.

Gongsun Zan turned a deaf ear to Tian Kai's words. In his opinion, this is a woman's opinion. Benefits are the basis of cooperation at any time. How much is faith worth?

Gongsun Zan raised his hand to indicate to Tian Kai that there is no need to say more, and instead asked, "Mr. Xi, how can you be sure that what you said is true?" What about conspiracy?"

Xi Zhicai knew that Gongsun Zan was moved, but he was only worried about how to protect his own interests.Strength is the most important thing in this world, and credit always belongs to the strong. For the weak, faith is too rare and precious.

"Don't worry, general, I won't hide it from you. Our army has [-] troops stationed at Huguan, all of whom are elite soldiers who have fought many battles. At this time, Yuan Shaoyuan is in Hanoi County and is held back by our Hanoi army. Our army will attack from Huguan first. General Guan Yu will sweep the southern part of Jizhou, and General Gongsun will go south to attack Jizhou immediately after learning about our army's action. If the general moves slowly, Jizhou may be taken by our army." Xi Zhicai did not answer directly, but said Know the next actions of the Bingzhou Army.

Gongsun Zan understood a little bit. To put it bluntly, the Bingzhou Army actually did not have the strength to take Jizhou on its own. After all, even if Yuan Shao lost a lot, he still had [-] to [-] troops.

It's better to cooperate with yourself, firstly, you can ensure that Bingzhou has no worries, and secondly, you can occupy part of Jizhou's territory, and you can make money without losing money. The abacus is really shrewd.

Gongsun Zan pondered Xi Zhicai's words again, and understood that Xi Zhicai was actually indirectly telling himself that they had no conspiracy.

At this time, Gongsun Zan had completely understood that cooperating with Li Shimin was actually beneficial to him rather than harmful, and Li Shimin had no plots or plots, or it was impossible to plot any plots.

Li Shimin's forces are now in Huguan and Sili, and the power in the north of Bingzhou is restrained by the Xianbei people. With more than 1 people, he can't pose a threat to him. Can he still rob his own Youzhou?

"My lord, you must not listen to this person's slander and tear up the covenant without authorization. This is the way to defeat."

"My lord, my lord..."

At this time, Tian Kai was still persuading Gongsun Zan not to break his promise or seek skin from a tiger.

How could Gongsun Zan listen to other people's words? He had already been smitten by the wealthy Jizhou, and he turned a deaf ear to Tian Kai's words.

Seeing that Tian Kai was still chattering, Gongsun Zan's face was getting darker and darker, Tian Yu immediately went over to pull Tian Kai away.

Only then did Gongsun Zan's anger be calmed down. Facing the awkward situation, Xi Zhicai remained as unmoved as a mountain.

Gongsun Zan's anger also gradually eased, and he said awkwardly: "Since that's the case, then to show our sincerity, our army will first withdraw to Zhuo County and wait for your news at that time? Haha."

Xi Zhicai was also very happy, and said with a smile: "General Gao Yi, I admire you, so please wait for the good news." Suddenly he said: "However, to be on the safe side, I suggest that the general continue to pretend to attack the Zijing Pass, and don't withdraw the troops first, so as not to cause trouble. It was discovered by Yuan Shao's spies, which ruined our event."

When Gongsun Zan heard this, he thought it made sense, so he gave up on withdrawing his troops and continued to garrison here.

Seeing that Gongsun Zan was moved by his words, Xi Zhicai heaved a sigh of relief.

Gongsun Zan was completely fascinated by this poisonous cake in Youzhou. Once he ate this poisonous cake, he would not only resolve the crisis in Bingzhou, but also completely break the enemy's alliance. By then, Yuan Shao, Jizhou and Gongsun Zan Youzhou will all be Li Shimin stuff in the bag.

Yuan Shu is not worth mentioning at all, and in the end only Cao Cao's family is left. At that time, Li Shimin can launch a counterattack, which will definitely make Cao Cao unable to eat.

…………

At Huguan in Bingzhou, generals such as Guan Yu and Zhang He were closely watching the situation of Yuan Shao's army outside the pass. Thanks to the information from Jushou, Guan Yu had a thorough understanding of Yan Liang's army stationed in Weijun.

In order to prevent Guan Yu's army from Huguan from entering Jizhou, Yan Liang's army ordered his generals to lead [-] forwards to station in Shujiao Township to closely monitor the movement of Huguan, while he himself led the main force to garrison Yecheng in Wei County.

Yuan Shao's order to him was to keep an eye on Guan Yu's army coming to Huguan. He must not let the enemy take the opportunity to attack Jizhou.

That's why Yan Liang sent his generals to garrison Shujiao. Whenever Guan Yu's army wants to lead troops out of the pass to attack Jizhou, they must pass through here.

At this time, Guan Yu, Zhang He and others seemed to be waiting for something. Zhang He walked back and forth in the tent, fidgeting, but seemed very excited.

Guan Yu was still stroking his beard with his left hand and holding the scroll in his right hand, immersed in the subtle words and righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, motionless, not at all anxious.

Zhang Xi asked a little impatiently: "General Guan, when can we send troops? I have been here for more than half a month, and I am almost free. Could it be that something happened to General Zhang Liao? , Haven't heard the news yet?"

Guan Yu still immersed himself in his studies, and said calmly: "I have confidence in Wen Yuan and Xi Zhicai's side, don't be impatient, maybe there will be news soon, and there will be your battle to fight in the future."
