Traveling through the Three Kingdoms: She brings unlimited supplies to build infrastructure

Chapter 196 Recall
Lingzhi City

Gongsun Jingduan was sitting behind the table in the main room.

In recent years, the weather in Dahan has become increasingly weird and abnormal, and the weather in western Liaoning has gradually turned colder in August.

I was drunk last night, so when I got up this morning I caught a cold and felt tight in my chest.

Gongsun Jing coughed from time to time, but the maids who used to hide in the corners of the main room did not appear with hot soup in spittoons.

In the spacious hall, only veteran Zuo Ping stood silently at the foot of the hall.

When Zuo Ping was young, he followed Gongsun Jing.

He and Gongsun Jiajing lived together day and night. Many people knew that veteran Zuo Ping was Gongsun Jing's shadow.

As the person who knows Gongsun Jing best in the world, Zuo Ping knows when to speak and when to shut up.

Just like that.

Gongsun Jingping retreated to the left and right.

The baggy eyelids characteristic of the elderly were drooped, making him look like he was asleep.

But Zuo Ping knew very well that the old man above was making a very difficult choice.

On the black lacquer desk, there are two documents placed on the left and right.

Decide where the Gongsun family will go in the future.

On the right is a sincere and personal letter from Yuan Shao.

It is mentioned that as long as Gongsun is willing to open the gate of Xiangguan and submit to him, he will no longer care about the past.

The Gongsun family can still maintain its current transcendent status in western Liaoning.

He was even willing to marry Yuan's daughter to Gongsun's family just to express their friendship.

At the same time, he is also willing to let his favorite youngest son Yuan Shang take Gongsun Yan as his mistress.

The Yuan family and the Gongsun family are closely related to each other.

If Gongsun Yan learned about such a thing, he would definitely find it incredible.

But in this era, it is very common.

From the moment their fathers were defeated, the game between Yuan and Gongsun Zan had already decided the winner and the dust had settled.

For a person like Yuan Shao who values ​​false reputation, if it were not for Liu He, he would not bother to send pursuers to pursue weak female orphans.

Even if he was captured at that time, he would never be killed, and most of the time he would be given to his subordinates.

Just like in history, Cao Cao captured Liu Bei's two daughters at Changbanpo and gave them to Cao Chun.

This is also the fundamental reason why the pursuers naturally retreated as soon as they passed Xiangguan.

Yuan Shao now controls the four states. Although he does not have much control over Bing and You states, he is sincere in writing the letter as a private person.

The Yuan family's tendency to annex the world has begun to show signs. Even if the Gongsun family takes advantage of the natural dangers of Liaoze and the key point of Xiangguan, it is not cost-effective to fight against it due to personal grudges.

It's just that it seems a little too early to get married and have a good relationship with him at this time.

There is still a trace of change.

Gongsun Jing thought deeply and looked at another document on the desk.

He suddenly coughed again, and there was a muffled sound in his throat, as if there was phlegm sticking to his throat, making him breathless.

"Master." Zuo Ping frowned, a little worried.

The head of the family is old and has been sick frequently recently. Although doctors have been treating him, he keeps getting sick again and again, which is really worrying.

"It's okay." Gongsun Jing waved his hand, "Sit down and talk to me."

"No." Zuo Ping lifted his robe and sat down.

Gongsun Jing didn't look at him, but picked up another edict on the right side.

This edict came from Xudu and was sent along with the remains of Gongsun Zan's family.

"Does A Ping know the content of this edict?" Gongsun Jing called Zuo Ping's name affectionately. "This..." Zuo Ping hesitated for a moment, "I don't know."

He doesn't know, but he can guess a thing or two. Although he has his own ideas, he never talks too much.

"Haha, you still have such a bad temper."

Gongsun Jing smiled and shook his head slightly: "Emperor Xu Du issued an edict to return the bodies of Bogui's family and bury them in his hometown, and ordered A Cheng to inherit his father's title."

Zuo Ping closed his mouth tightly, did not speak, and listened quietly.

Gongsun Jing didn't really want him to answer anything, so he paused after speaking.

Gongsun Jing is well aware of the current situation of the Xudu court, even though he is in a remote area.

This edict is Cao's gift of goodwill.

The old monk Gongsun Jing seemed to be in trance and meditated for a long time.

In June, Yuan Shao raised one hundred thousand troops and ten thousand horses in an attempt to attack Xuchang.

Cao Cao raised [-] troops to meet the enemy.

In early August, news came from the Central Plains that Cao Cao led his army to occupy Liyang, an important town on the north bank of the Yellow River.

The two families of Cao and Yuan faced each other in the Yellow River.

Judging from the combat power on paper, Cao Cao has almost no chance of winning.

However, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao had been fighting each other for many years, and Gongsun Jingshen knew Yuan Shao's temperament and style.

Gongsun Jing's eyelids had been drooping, and he lifted them. Moreover, the emperor was still in Xudu.

As long as Cao has a slight chance of winning, it's not the time to place a bet.

Gongsun Jing pondered, and just when Zuo Ping was about to speak to break the silence, he suddenly changed the topic, "What happened to the warrior who escorted Bo Gui's coffin from Xudu?"

Zuo Ping was stunned for a moment and replied truthfully: "He is still housed in Guanyi. He clamors to see Bogui's children every day. He has a rough and violent personality."

"However, even with the imperial order, being able to pass through Jizhou and deliver Bogui's body intact to western Liaoning requires not only bravery but also strategy."

"This person is definitely not as rough and crazy as he appears."

"Yes..." Gongsun Jingfu looked at the two silk documents on the desk.

"After delaying it for so long, it's time to give him an answer." He overlapped the two documents and put them together.

"Aping." He called.

Zuo Ping avoided the seat and stood up: "Here you are."

"Go to Lulong." Gongsun Jing's old and skinny hand knocked on the table, "Fetch Ayan to Lingzhi and bring back the bodies of his father, brother, mother and sister."

Suddenly thinking of something, Gongsun Jing added before Zuo Ping agreed: "Go and tell me personally that I am sick and ask her to come in person. If you have something to explain to her, if she doesn't come, the Lord of Lulong County will Find someone else.”

"Homeowner."

Zuo Ping was shocked. It was just to recruit a granddaughter. Why did he use such ominous words and threats?

"Go ahead, go ahead." Gongsun Jing's face became more helpless.

His granddaughter is really a cold-hearted gadget.

Only when he writes a letter asking for money and food to beg the official, will he care about his health with sweet words.

If he didn't use this method and asked Zuo Ping to pick him up in person, he would be buried without anyone waiting for him.

Gongsun Jing watched Zuo Ping strode out and gently pressed his palm on Yuan Shao's letter.

"Since it concerns you, come up with a reason to convince me."

"I'll give you this chance to choose, Ayan, so be sure to seize it."

The old man's old whisper echoed between the beams and pillars of the hall, and then disappeared into nothing.
