The Conquest of the Three Kingdoms

A word and a word determine the fate of the world, and a word and deed foretells the future direction.

After repeated weighing and long-term consideration, Nie Zefeng finally spoke.

He got up and bowed to the ground and said: "My lord, please accept my son-in-law's bow."

"Your Majesty can't do it, you can't do it! You're making my little old man miserable."

Qiao Guo hurriedly got up to help Nie Zefeng, "Master Hou, what did you call me just now?"

"My lord, what's wrong?"

"This old man is just a commoner, how dare he get involved with the emperor's relatives? Lord Hou is competing to make fun of my little old man!"

Nie Zefeng knew that it was time for a showdown, and he said generously: "Old man, in the future, you will not only supply the military rations of the entire Jingzhou area, but the military rations of the whole country. After the transfer of horses and armaments, all of them have to go through Guolao's business empire, what do you think?"

Qiao Guolao was completely shocked, because in this troubled world, most of the princes just wanted to seize more territory, and no one thought about unifying the world. However, this young man was the first to think of dominating the world in the troubled times. Can't help but make people admirable.

"Okay, Lord Hou, little old man, I am willing to stand on your shoulders for you, and I will do whatever I want."

After finishing speaking, Qiao Guolao also bowed down to bow down. Nie Zefeng hurriedly supported Qiao Guolao who was about to bow down, and then the two wanted to have a good talk. Outside the gate of the mansion, we bid farewell one by one.

Nie Zefeng turned and ran back to the inn.

When Nie Zefeng returned to the inn, he saw that Pei Yuanshao was anxiously waiting for him. When Pei Yuanshao saw Nie Zefeng came back, he hurried forward to meet him.

"Why, what's the matter?"

"Yes."

"Let's talk in the room then!"

Nie Zefeng and Pei Yuanshao entered the room, and Pei Yuanshao immediately said, "My lord, this is indeed a Hongmen banquet. The princes who entered Qiao Guolao's mansion today include Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu, Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Kang, and Xianbei leader Ta. Dun and the leaders of the five tribes of the Huns successively entered and exited Qiao Guolao's mansion, and what they talked about one after another is the same as what you talked about tonight."

Nie Zefeng glanced sideways at Pei Yuanshao, and thought to himself, you guys dare to bite me now, but you think about it when you turn around, it's for your own safety, so you don't think so much anymore.

"It seems that Qiao Guo always married off his daughter dozens of times."

"That's how it is."

"What's going on with Liu Biao?"

"Liu Biao mobilized a total of 10 soldiers from the four counties, which can be said to be the last of Liu Biao's troops. These four troops are the Jiangxia soldiers and horses commanded by Su Fei, the Changsha soldiers and horses commanded by Huang Zhong, and the soldiers of Gong Gong. Commander Zhi's Wuling soldiers and horses, and Bao Long's Guiyang soldiers, they respectively set up four poisonous schemes.

"Burn the Martial Arts Competition City, shell the boats in the center of the lake, ambush the single-plank bridge, and shoot at the Black Wind Forest."

"Everything is a poisonous plan. Although Liu Biao and Qiao Guolao conspired to make this list of martial arts and recruiting relatives, they have different calculations. I don't know what will happen in the end?"

"My lord, it's still too late for us to retreat. Otherwise, if we withdraw from Lingling City, no matter what morality or immorality he has, we can directly gather troops to attack the four counties of Jingzhou?"

"No, we have now occupied most of the Jingzhou mansion, but we have been born without a name, and have not been recognized by the princes of all parties. We must have a legalization, so this time we must marry Xiao Qiao, and we have won the Jingzhou mansion. governance."

Seeing helplessness, Pei Yuanshao had no choice but to stop dissuading him. Perhaps the vision and strategic height of an excellent king and an ordinary general determine a person's courage.
