Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 256 The non-aggression treaty between the parties, Cao Ang may become the biggest winner! [Dazhang asks for a subscription and asks for a monthly pass]

The next morning.

Located in the north of Nangong County, in the large tent used for negotiations, the forces of the four parties gathered again.

That's right.

The grand battle, which had a huge scale and involved a total of more than [-] soldiers and horses invested by the enemy and us, came to an end after only one day.

The reason why the four forces made such a tacit decision is entirely because the main forces of the offensive and defensive sides, that is, Gongsun Zan and Cao Ang, decided to stop fighting at the same time.

Gongsun Zan naturally didn't need to say much.

His core tactic is Lightning Assault.

Before Cao Cao led his army to the north to support, and before Yuan Shao and other parties reacted, Cao Ang was directly defeated, thus completely establishing the chance of victory in this battle.

But now that Cao Ang has defeated the Youzhou cavalry and disintegrated Gongsun Zan's lightning offensive in one fell swoop, his overall plan has also been declared bankrupt.

That being the case.

Then what?
Honestly, sit down first, have a chat at the negotiating table, and then decide on the follow-up.

As for Cao Ang.

He just wanted to watch Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao pinch each other, and he didn't want to fight them himself.

It is based on the above considerations.

Today, after Han Fu once again extended invitations to all parties in his capacity as Jizhou Mu, even if he was as arrogant as Gongsun Zan, he chose to go to the appointment silently.

……

At the moment outside the camp.

Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao have not yet arrived.

Cao Ang and Han Fu took advantage of the gap and quietly discussed some details aside.

"Zixiu, I will follow what you told me later, but Gongsun Bogui and Yuan Benchu, will they accept this proposal?"

Cao Ang replied affirmatively while looking around the tent.

"Gongsun Zan is now riding a tiger. He wants to continue fighting, but he is worried that he won't win. But if he gives up at this point, he will be unwilling."

"So our plan is probably a good choice for Gongsun Bogui."

"As for Yuan Benchu..."

When Yuan Shao was mentioned, Cao Ang paused for a while.

His right hand stroked his chin twice.

Then he smiled and said, "He probably wanted to take down Gongsun Zan in one go, but if he relies on his own strength right now, let alone take down Gongsun Zan, it's not bad if he didn't get crushed by the Youzhou iron cavalry."

"Besides, as long as he is not dazzled by yesterday's victory, he should understand it clearly."

"Even if we join forces and continue to fight Gongsun Zan, we still can't win."

"After all, I was able to defeat the Youzhou cavalry because they took the initiative to charge me. If they attack Gongsun's army instead, it will be difficult to find effective ways to contain the cavalry."

"So Yuan Shao will agree!"

……

Listening to Cao Ang's analysis.

Han Fu had some confidence in his heart.

It's just that after nodding one after another, Han Fu suddenly remembered something, and a look of apology suddenly appeared on his face.

Turning around, bowing to Cao Ang, he said in embarrassment and shame.

"Zixiu, I'm ashamed to say that you and I made an agreement earlier that when we go to war with Gongsun's army, I will send a large army to support you."

"It's just that when the two armies were fighting yesterday, Gongsun Zan mobilized thousands of elite soldiers to block our army's way in a frenzied and desperate manner."

"Although the number of soldiers and horses under my command far exceeds those sent by Gongsun Zan, I really can't do anything under his style of filling it with human life at all costs and obstructing my style of play!"

"So yesterday until the end of the war, I couldn't mobilize soldiers and horses. I am really ashamed!"

Han Fu spoke with sincerity.

But Cao Ang knew that the old boy's words also contained some cover-ups and embellishments.

The reason why Han Fu didn't come to support him.

It's not because Gongsun Jun is crazy and desperate.

It was purely because Han Fu's army was so powerful that more than 1 people were eaten to death by Gongsun Zan's 5000 men.

Gongsun Jun didn't fight hard at all, and Han Fu was already so entangled that he couldn't get out of his body.

The reason why I say this now is entirely to save some face.

Cao Ang knew this well.

But he didn't expose it.

After all, Han Fu and Yuan Shao have different natures. Yuan Shao chose to betray himself under the premise of having a choice. He has bad intentions, so he needs to be punished.

And Han Fu is really not strong enough.

As long as he can draw his hand, the old boy Han Wenjie will never stand idly by.

So facing Han Fu's shame, Cao Ang just smiled and waved his hands, and said indifferently.

"Uncle is really serious. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and who can control the overall situation?"

"Before we formulated the plan, we never expected that Gongsun Zan would fight so fiercely, so it is only natural that there were variables other than the plan."

Hear this.

Han Fu's heart suddenly relaxed.

It would be best if Cao Ang didn't blame him.

Just when he was about to say something, he saw Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao approaching from a distance, one in front of the other, dozens of steps apart.

……

It is also a bit strange to say.

Let's talk about Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao.

It is clear that they have reached the stage where it is absolutely impossible to reconcile with each other. Seeing each other as enemies is the biggest stumbling block on the road to success.

However, every time Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao came to the gathering in the tent, they always arrived one after the other. It was doubtful whether the brainwaves of these two guys were converging.

But at the moment in front of the tent.

The two just met.

They just snorted coldly at the same time, and then turned their heads aside.

Just a moment later.

Yuan Shao, who was the first to react, fired decisively at Gongsun Zan.

"General Gongsun, why do you have the time to come here today? I heard that you have white horse followers under your command. The number is fixed at [-]. Every time you reduce the number of people, you need to replenish them. No matter how many people you have, you need to make up to [-]."

"It stands to reason that General Gongsun should be in the station at this moment, picking out a new white horse follower, why is he here in such a busy schedule?"

Speaking of it.

Yuan Shao patted his forehead pretendingly.

Put on a suddenly realized expression.

"Yuan understands!"

"I think it's because Bai Mayi has lost too much since then. After all, it's not easy to fill in the vacancies of one or two thousand people in a while!"

"After all, it's time to slow down!"

"If it really doesn't work, General Yan Gangyan can do this matter!"

……

Yuan Shao's taunting skills are almost full.

Words were sharper than swords, and they stabbed at the wound on Gongsun Zan's body one after another, so that Gongsun Zan would not vomit blood in anger.

In the battle yesterday.

Gongsun Zan's biggest loss was the loss of thousands of cavalry, including half of the white horse followers.

The other is that the general Yan Gang was shot to death with an arrow. This is the number one general under his command, and his body is still stored in the barracks.

All of the above two things made Gongsun Zan extremely angry and heartbroken.

As a result, among the many words that Yuan Shao said just now, every word and every sentence mentioned these two.

It was equivalent to the fact that the wound here had not yet healed, and was directly opened by Yuan Shao, and the blood was dripping from the sharp knife.

How could it not make him furious?

He really can't wait to stage a martial arts exercise with Yuan Shao immediately, and have a hand-to-hand combat with this so-called noble son.

If you don't beat him half to death, we are not surnamed Gongsun!

……

"Hush...huh!"

After all, he could only think about beating Yuan Shao violently, so after taking a deep breath.

Gongsun Zan forced himself to calm down.

Then he responded with the same words: "No matter how much my white horse is damaged, what does it have to do with you? You don't think that your army contributed a lot in yesterday's battle, do you?"

"Cao Zixiu is a young hero, he uses soldiers like a god, he wins more with less, and he can defeat me with his feet. I am convinced of this."

"As for you, Yuan Benchu, you are nothing more than an incompetent and courageous idiot. Do you still remember the scene where I chased and beat you all the way in Lecheng County?"

Regardless of what Yuan Shaozuo thinks.

He only said that he was watching the play quietly at the side, happily watching Cao Ang, who was scolding and fighting each other.

He was suddenly taken aback by Gongsun Zan's words.

This old boy, why is he flattering me for no reason? Could it be because of yesterday's battle that Gongsun Zan was convinced of him?

Cao Ang didn't think so.

After all, logically speaking, he was Gongsun Zan's number one enemy, and the real culprit who killed his general and damaged his cavalry.

Unless Gongsun Zan's heart is as deep as the sea, otherwise it is absolutely impossible for him to be convinced by it.

But is Gongsun Zan a broad-minded person?
thought here.

Cao Ang pondered for a while.

Gongsun Zan blows himself up to the sky, blowing himself into a peerless talent that is rare in the world and unique on earth.

Nine times out of ten, it was to show everyone that his loss to Cao Ang, Gongsun Bogui, was not ashamed.

If Cao Zixiu is still belittled under such circumstances, wouldn't that prove that he, the defeated general, is a pure waste?
Gee!
Think about it here.

Cao Ang couldn't help laughing secretly.

It was really not easy for an arrogant guy like Gongsun Zan to lower his haughty head.

Can come more!
……

And after Yuan Shao heard that Gongsun Zan had turned over the old account.

His complexion couldn't help but darken a little.

Although he and Cao Ang were allies and belonged to the victorious side, it was really embarrassing to say this.

Cao Ang hanged and beat Gongsun Zan, but Gongsun Zan pressed him to the ground and hammered him.

Calculating the two sides, is it equivalent to being several levels away from Cao Ang?
It's ugly when you think about it that way.

Unless Yuan Shao can be shameless, there is really no way to let go of it for a while.

But he also has a way.

That is to ignore it!

"Wow!"

Lifting the curtain of the tent, Yuan Shao walked in with one step, just pretending that he didn't hear Gongsun Zan's words just now, and ignored it.

Wait until everyone files in.

Yuan Shao sat down at the seat he had chosen during the first negotiation, and then the old god looked at Gongsun Zan from the ground.

"General Gongsun, in yesterday's battle, you lost completely. Even the elite cavalry you are proud of were chased and fled all over the place."

"It stands to reason that you are not qualified to participate in the negotiations today. I have not dispatched troops to pursue your victory, and I have left room for it."

"If you're sensible, General Gongsun should take your remnants and return to Youzhou immediately, instead of staying here and trying to meddle in the affairs of Jizhou!"

……

Enter the stage of formal negotiation confrontation.

Both parties began to get serious.

Facing Yuan Shao's victorious posture, Gongsun Zan's eyes flickered for a while.

Then he flicked his sleeves.

The voice was calm and powerful, and he said without any panic: "Although I lost a game yesterday, it was only a small defeat and it does not affect the overall situation."

"There are still tens of thousands of elite soldiers and generals under a certain command, all of whom are capable of recruiting and fighting, and they are still capable of fighting!"

"How do you have the courage to boast that you can drive me back to Youzhou?"

When Yuan Shao heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

Spreading his hands, he gestured to Cao Ang who was beside him.

Then he said leisurely.

"I admit that you are very powerful. With my own strength, it is indeed a little difficult."

"But if I, Zixiu, and even Wen Jie join forces, how should you deal with it?"

Han Fu was automatically ignored.

Gongsun Zan's gaze turned to Cao Ang who was sitting quietly at the side, watching the play leisurely.

The face is full of jealousy.

Before yesterday, if Yuan Shao made such a threat, Gongsun Zan would not have cared at all.

So what about one against three?
I am not afraid at all!

But today is different.

After yesterday's disastrous defeat, Gongsun Zan had no choice but to face up to the threat posed by Cao Ang.

It is true that Gongsun Zan could find many excuses for yesterday's failure to justify himself.

Such as underestimating the enemy, or incompetence, or even taking the initiative to attack away games, these can all be reasons.

But what's the point?

To lose is to lose!

With 5000 elite cavalry attacking an infantry position with less than [-] people, anyone who can be beaten will be turned on his back.

It proves that Cao Ang is the most powerful person!
It is Cao Jun who is strong.

So after the offensive and defensive changes, is it difficult for Cao Ang to come up with more effective ways to deal with Gongsun's army?
and this.

It is also the fundamental reason why Gongsun Zan has not lost his combat effectiveness, but is still afraid of Cao Ang.

……

After a moment of silence.

Gongsun Zan made a move that no one expected.

He first cupped his hands at Cao Ang, then forced a smile, and then said solemnly.

"General Cao is a young hero. He is a rare talent in the world. If you join forces with Yuan Benchu, I really don't have the confidence to win."

"Just forgive me for speaking bluntly. I don't know what kind of conditions Yuan Benchu ​​offered so that you are willing to advance and retreat with him?"

"If you can, you might as well tell the truth. What he can afford, I, Gongsun Zan, can offer just as much, and even more than him!"

"If Zixiu is willing to abandon his prejudices and join hands with me to advance and retreat together, I would like to give you a county in the south of Jizhou as a gift, and in the future, Jizhou and Yanzhou will not invade each other, and the Cao family and grandson family will be friends for generations! "

"I don't know how you feel?"

This statement came out.

Immediately, everyone present was stunned.

what's the situation?
Is this the Gongsun Zan that everyone is familiar with? He is as arrogant as him, and he will take the initiative to throw an olive branch to Cao Ang.

He even made it clear that he is willing to pay a higher price for this and give more conditions.

Cao Ang didn't know what other people thought.

In short, he is a little cool now.

……

Gongsun Zan is not a person whose eyes extend to the top of his head, no matter how high or low his status is, he looks down on him.

For those who are deeply recognized by them.

Gongsun Bogui is definitely good at communicating with each other.

This also proved one point from the side, that is, in Gongsun Zan's heart at this moment, Cao Ang's status has been infinitely elevated.

From scornfully calling him a "yellow mouth boy" to today's "young hero", the difference in attitude before and after can't be judged by the truth!
General Gongsun, why did you use to be arrogant and then respectful?

And while thinking like this.

Cao Ang also became more determined.

That is to continue to promote Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao to maintain a balance of power.

Only when two tigers are fighting, can I, a spectator who can control the balance of victory, maximize my benefits.

Establishing them as rivals, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan urgently need their help in order to be able to overwhelm their competitors.

Just like today, this situation and this scene!

……

Just as Cao Ang expected.

Yuan Shao is indeed panicking now.

A strong sense of crisis welled up in my heart.

Gongsun Zan, a reckless man, has actually learned how to play tricks. Instead of taking the aggressive route of opening and closing, he turned to use his mind and wielded a hoe to dig the walls.

How's that?
The agreement between myself and Cao Ang is nothing more than a fragile and loose alliance.

Once someone really bids higher than himself, it is difficult to ensure that Cao Ang will not get cold feet.

Think about it here.

Yuan Shao immediately frowned, rather preoccupied, and cast a vague look at Cao Ang.

But at a glance.

But he found that Cao Ang was also looking at him.

After the two looked at each other, Cao Ang nodded to Yuan Shao, which made Yuan Benchu ​​feel a little more relaxed.

Thinking about it, Cao Zixiu should be a believer.

Now that it has been agreed, it will not be changed easily.

Right now.

Cao Ang's voice came from Yuan Shao's ears.

"Thank you, General Gongsun, for your kindness. It's just that my uncle didn't do me any favors. I'm here just to uphold justice, mediate in the middle, and properly resolve the affairs of Jizhou."

"However, since General Gongsun has said so, then I think there is no point in arguing any longer."

"Why don't we listen to what Han Zhoumu said?"

……

Under the guidance of Cao Ang's topic.

Everyone finally remembered Han Fu's Hangeul Festival, which had a very low sense of existence and had been neglected all the time.

for a while.

Three pairs of eyes looked at Han Fu at the same time.

Under the gaze of everyone, Han Fu couldn't help coughing dryly, then straightened his back suddenly, putting on an energetic appearance.

Then he clapped his hands to the left and right sides.

"All of you here are powerful and well-known figures in the world. They have many soldiers and generals in their hands, and they are full of food and grass. They are by no means comparable to ordinary people."

"If everyone is allowed to continue fighting, then Jizhou, which was originally in good condition, may really be battered and turned into ruins!"

"So I have a suggestion, why don't we all take a step back, what do you think?"

No objection was raised.

Both Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan fell into silent thinking.

Seeing such a reaction in his eyes, Han Fu felt relieved, and became more and more convinced that what Cao Ang said before was true.

Waited for a while.

Gongsun Zan was the first to ask.

"I don't know how to take a step back?"

……

Han Fu got up immediately and pointed to the map that had been hung on his back earlier.

"I would like to worship General Gongsun as Prime Minister of Hejian, but the corresponding thing is that you must withdraw your troops immediately and retreat to the Yi County area, and you must not easily start another war!"

Before Gongsun Zan could speak.

Han Fu then bowed his hands to Yuan Shao.

"Prefect Yuan, please also return to Nanpi County, and do not engage in any more wars. In exchange, all cities south of Chengping County in Hejian, as well as Guangchuan County in the north of Qinghe Kingdom, should be under your jurisdiction."

"As for General Cao, I can honor your general Cao Chun as Qinghe Prime Minister. Except for Guangchuan County, all cities in the south will be under your jurisdiction."

"I don't know how many people think?"

This plan is good for everyone.

Although the northern part of Hejian Kingdom was actually controlled by Gongsun Zan.

However, he became the Prime Minister of Hejian and became a member of Jizhou's official system in name. If he wanted to intervene in Jizhou's affairs in the future, it would be justified.

Yuan Shao, on the other hand, actually gained control of about four or five cities in the south of Hejian Kingdom and the north of Qinghe Kingdom, which could be integrated with Bohai County.

No matter how you think about it, it’s not bad, right?
Not to mention Cao Ang.

His benefits are the most lucrative.

It directly swallowed most of Qinghe country, adding another county to Weijun's territory.

It also basically realized one of his strategic goals of intervening in Jizhou affairs.

As for Han Fu himself.

Then he didn't even pay for a penny.

The Hejian Kingdom and the Qinghe Kingdom themselves were not within his control. Han Fu, the state herdsman, had never reached out to the east.

Just like Wei Jun.

Is there anything wrong with throwing out a piece of land that doesn't belong to you and letting others divide it up?
……

There was a long silence in the camp.

After a long while.

Gongsun Zan was the first to say: "I think this method is feasible. I am willing to agree to Brother Wen Jie's conditions, and I will lead my troops back to Hejian Kingdom in a few days."

With Gongsun Zan taking the lead in expressing his opinion.

Yuan Shao, who also benefited a lot, naturally would not raise any objections.

Although in this armistice agreement, Cao Ang is the most profitable, far more than others.

But because he is in a special position now, Han Fu needs to curry favor, Yuan Shao must win over, and Gongsun Zan strives to be reconciled.

So no one commented on that either.

Anyway, if Cao Ang can't get it, they can't get it either, so why bother to offend Cao Zixiu?

And after several parties reached a consensus.

Everyone made a verbal agreement.

Make it clear to each other that we will never start a war lightly, we will not invade each other, and we will be good-neighborly and friendly.

As for why it is an oral agreement, not imprinted in writing.

Naturally, it was because everyone present, one by one, knew that this so-called bullshit agreement would not last for a few months.

……

Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao will continue to fight after all, especially after their current territory has become more and more entangled.

Gongsun Zan was just waiting to dissipate, the negative impact of this defeat, to re-gather the army's morale and morale.

And after returning to the Hejian country, he tried to find a way to raise more food and grass, and made good use of his newly acquired title of Prime Minister of the Hejian country.

It's best to find a way to win over Cao Ang, even if he doesn't turn upside down, he still has to maintain a neutral attitude.

There were many things to do, so Gongsun Zan was the first to agree to a truce.

As for Yuan Shao's words.

Instead, he temporarily paralyzed Gongsun Zan to make him retreat, and then waited for his strong reinforcement Cao Mengde to lead his troops northward.

With the joint efforts of all parties, Gongsun Zan was overthrown in one fell swoop, and the outcome was completely determined!
It can only be said that each has its own careful thinking.

But a big war is inevitable in the future.
