The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 187

"I've seen a few Mr. Yuan."

Zhuge Jin cupped his hands slightly, but did not make any big salutes.

"What's the matter with Wei Tao asking you to come here? Although the two armies are not fighting, if you can't tell me why, then it depends on my sword's strength!"

Seeing Zhuge Jin like this, although he also knew that it was because the two armies were at war, but Yuan Tan always believed that he had different identities, and when he saw that others dared to treat him with such disrespect, his heart suddenly became inexplicably angry.

In fact, it is not only Yuan Tan, even Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang are like this, the members of the Yuan family are people with good face, Zhuge Jin is like this now, just don't give them face.

Zhugejin was also born in the Langya clan, so he naturally knew about such people, but thinking that Yuan Tan was the leader of an army, and that they were all like this, Zhugejin couldn't help but sneered secretly in his heart: Sure enough, as the lord said, the sons of Yuan Shao All are mediocre.

One must know that even Yuan Shao himself would never show such contempt for the people he came and went with.

"I have two matters that I would like to report to Mr. Yuan."

However, Zhuge Jin was not an ordinary person. Although Yuan Tan and the others were arrogant, he remained calm and spoke slowly.

"First of all, Mr. Yuan must be unhappy with the people who were defeated by my lord before. After ten days, our army is willing to fight Mr. Yuan. If Mr. Yuan loses again, then please leave Hejian. After ten days , Presumably General Yan Liang should have fully recovered, and my lord would like to fight against him by then."

"Hahahaha... What a Wei Tao, he is so reckless. Since he wants to fight with me, then let's fight! Let you know the real strength of our army!"

Hearing Zhuge Jin's words, Yuan Tan smiled instead of anger. Even if Wei Tao didn't say anything, he still wanted to fight Wei Tao. Now that Wei Tao has come to challenge, Yuan Tan naturally has no answer.

"My two younger brothers have been 'cared for' by you these days. This time I will definitely avenge them. You are replying to Wei Tao. I will do my best to punish him in this battle! Not only Jizhou will take it back, Even Bingzhou should be included in the palm of your hand!"

For Yuan Tan's 'wild talk', Zhuge Jin just smiled lightly, but Yuan Shang couldn't help but clenched his fists hard.

Even if Wei Tao is to be defeated, it should be him, Yuan Shang. How can Yuan Tan do this?
Slightly turning his head to look at Zhuge Jin, a strong wish surged up in Yuan Shang's mind, hoping that Wei Tao could defeat Yuan Tan, and even make him lose even worse!
"Hehe... Jin will definitely bring the words of the eldest son."

Perhaps it was because Yuan Tan responded, but Zhuge Jin ignored Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang intentionally or unintentionally.

As a result, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang hated it even more, but Yuan Xi was more angry towards Wei Tao, and almost all of Yuan Shang's anger was towards Yuan Tan.

"There is another thing, the eldest son also knows that now that General Ju Yi has been captured by our army, I have to say that General Ju Yi is indeed tough enough. After being captured by our army, he just went on a hunger strike, even if he forced it Some porridge, but it is just a drop in the bucket, which shows his loyalty to Yuan Gong."

At this moment, I heard Zhuge Jin say again slowly, the "Yuan Gong" mentioned here naturally refers to Yuan Shao.

"My lord also appreciates the loyalty of General Ju Yi, and couldn't bear to kill him like this, so he sent me to discuss with the Eldest Young Master. I wonder if the Eldest Young Master is willing to exchange Ju Yi?"

Yuan Tan was silent for a moment. Yuan Tan still knew about Ju Yi. Ju Yi belonged to the people who were loyal to Yuan Shao. Except for Yuan Shao, no one was in his eyes. For the three sons of the Yuan family, Ju Yi It's the kind of person who can't be wooed.

Even if Yuan Tan rescued him this time, he would only be grateful to Yuan Shao, not Yuan Tan.

But can Yuan Tan refuse?
If Yuan Tan refuses on behalf of Yuan Shao, it means that even such a loyal person Yuan Shao will give up, not to mention who will be willing to join Yuan Shao in the future, just now Yuan Shao's subordinates will be somewhat dissatisfied, and may even It was because of this that he hated Yuan Tan.

"I don't know why Wei Tao is willing to let General Ju Yi go?"

Yuan Tan managed to keep calm and asked, but thinking that if Ju Yi could be redeemed, then Ju Yi would obey his orders, Yuan Tan finally felt a little less unwilling.

"As long as General Ju Yi can come back, as long as the conditions are not excessive, I can agree. Of course, if Wei Tao deliberately humiliated me, then don't blame me for ordering someone to beat you out."

"Hehe... How could our army do such a thing? If you want to exchange for General Ju Yi, you only need to exchange five thousand soldiers."

Zhuge Jin said with a slight smile.

"General Ju Yi can be the enemy of ten thousand people, but five thousand soldiers are still enough."

"Bastard! If you are not sincere, don't say this. I believe that General Ju Yi's loyalty will never cause our army to lose because of himself! If so, I will take revenge for General Ju Yi!"

Yuan Tan was immediately annoyed. What five thousand soldiers, in Yuan Tan's view, Wei Tao's move was to weaken his strength. Without these five thousand soldiers, it would be impossible to fight against Wei Tao again. advantage in numbers.

And Yuan Tan's refusal would not be suspicious, after all, if the battle was lost because of one person, then Yuan Shao would be laughed at.

"Hehe...Since you don't want to do this, how about a one-for-one exchange? My lord admires General Zhang He very much, and talking with him a few times is even better. Now that General Zhang He is no longer trusted by Yuan Jun , how about in exchange for this?"

This is the purpose of Wei Tao sending Zhuge Jin here. Compared with Ju Yi, Wei Tao actually values ​​Zhang He more. Of course, if Yuan Tan really would exchange Ju Yi with [-] soldiers, then Wei Tao would not It will be rejected.

At this time, I saw Zhuge Jin speaking slowly with a smile on his face.

"To be honest, Mr. Yuan, in fact, General Gao Lan has recommended General Zhang He several times, hoping to guard the border with him and do our best for my man, but General Zhang He has been hesitant because of Yuan Gong's kindness. How about repaying it now?"

The more Zhuge Jin said, the more it made Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang look ugly.

As for Zhang He, because of Wei Tao's several pretentious gestures, the Yuan brothers have indeed gradually become unwelcome. After Yuan Tan took control of Yuan Jun, he handed over the army commanded by Zhang He to Yan Liang to command.

But if you don't want to see Zhang He, you don't want to see Zhang He, but it's not that simple to give Zhang He to the enemy so directly.

However, after Zhuge Jin made such a fuss, Zhang He was already stared at by Yuan Tan and the others, especially Gao Lan, who had already surrendered to Wei Tao, had indeed been on good terms with Zhang He in the past, which made people wonder if they had already What's the deal.

It can be said that today's Zhang Yun is a dumb eater of Coptis chinensis, and he can't tell what he suffers.

Of course, even so, it is impossible for Yuan Tan and others to be the masters.

It's still the same reason, if the news of exchanging subordinates is spread, then Yuan Shao's reputation will also be ruined, which is impossible for Yuan Tan.

"Hehe... I also know that this matter is quite embarrassing. How about asking General Zhang Yun's opinion? If he is willing to surrender to our army, how can the young masters be beautiful? This time, how about exchanging prisoners and hostages between our army and your army? ?”

At this time, Zhuge Jin smiled again and said, since he will come, he has already considered all aspects clearly, and Zhuge Jin naturally understands the concerns of Yuan Tan and others.

"Although Zhang He is listed among the four court pillars in Hebei, he is nothing compared to General Ju Yi, right? I heard that every time Yuan Gong fought, he always took General Ju Yi as the vanguard. His subordinates entered the camp first and often defeated the enemy first Every battle, more than half of the soldiers under his command are often lost, and he has made great contributions to the Yuan army, and Yuan Gong thinks that he is helping. On the other hand, General Zhang Yun, although he is quite famous, how can he compare with Ju Yi?"

Yuan Tan and the others were all taken aback. It's really hard to say who is more important than who.

But if Zhang Yun really colluded with Wei Tao, then such an exchange would not damage Yuan Shao's reputation, and it could even bring back a reputation for being broad-minded.

Of course, if this is the case, then Zhang Xi's reputation will be stained, at least the reputation of betraying the master cannot escape.

Soon Zhang Yun was found, and then Zhuge Jin immediately said the matter slowly.

"General Zhang He, my lord is full of sincerity. I only acted like this because I was concerned about the general's reputation. With the general's wisdom, I should understand my lord's sincerity."

Zhuge Jin said it very easily, but Zhang Xi's complexion has become extremely ugly.

After being deprived of his military power, although Zhang He was very angry in his heart, what he thought was that he would see people's hearts for a long time, and there would always be a time when the truth would come to light.

But now that Wei Tao has acted like this, I am afraid that no one in Yuan Jun can trust him anymore, even Yuan Shao, will he not waver under the words of Yuan Tan and others?
Zhang Xi, who knew Yuan Shao's temperament, would not think so at all.

What's more, Wei Tao's actions before, in Zhang Xi's view, he admired him, but in the eyes of others, it was Wei Tao's hooking up, and then he had secretly taken refuge.

There was no room for Zhang Yun among Yuan Jun. Even if Zhang Yun stayed, everyone would probably think that Zhang Yun wanted to make meritorious deeds to gain a foothold.

Although it was impossible for Yuan Shao to kill Zhang Yun directly because of his reputation, it was possible for him not to reuse him since then.

"Could it be that all my abilities are wasted?"

Even Zhang Yun couldn't help but feel his heart tremble when he thought of this, a strong unwillingness emerged from the bottom of his heart, and he secretly clenched his fists.

"General Wei attaches so much importance to me, Zhang He, and treats me with the courtesy of a national scholar, shouldn't I repay him?"
