"Guo Jia thought that cede land and paying tribute were not the most important. The key was that if the Han Dynasty could be granted a king or a marquis, it would be the best.&{}..{}

Now the territory under the jurisdiction of Lord Zhou Mu is currently enough, and his official position has reached the extreme of the ministers, and the only one who is inferior is the title. Although Lord Zhou Mu can fight for it himself from the Han Dynasty, it will be more legitimate to hand it over to Liu Dai on this condition.

At the same time, the conditions proposed by Liu Dai are not representative of our wishes. When the two sides negotiate to reach an agreement, the right to speak lies with the Lord of the State. At that time, whether it is asked for huge sums of money or territory, it will be determined by the Lord of the State of the State, so there is naturally a way to make it difficult for Liu Dai to grow stronger.

Furthermore, even if the two sides reached an agreement and after Liu Dai fulfilled the promise, if Lord Zhou Mu did not want to tolerate him, it might be easier to take Puyang City, and perhaps there would be no need to do it in the name of Lord.

The situation has been very good since the war started. Although it is a pity to agree to Liu Dai, if he attacked Puyang City at this time, Liu Dai knew that he had no way to survive. He thought that he would fight to the death to the end of the commander's death. At that time, I would not be able to avoid causing some losses.

It would be better to agree to Liu Dai's conditions first and then capture him when he is lazy. The reason has been left at this time, and it will be a natural thing to attack Liu Dai again.

In fact, leaving Liu Dai can also serve as a check and balance. Now that the Lord of the State has taken so many places in Yanzhou, he must be divided with Qiao Mao and Ding Yuan. If these two people were big at that time, it would not be a bad thing to have Liu Dai check and balance. As the saying goes, the intention of guarding others is necessary!

Guo Jia thought that it is more practical to get some benefits from Liu Dai first. Under the current situation, I think Liu Dai would agree as long as it is not too outrageous.

Of course, it is necessary to send troops to Puyang. By then, our troops are at the city, and the negotiations will become much more beneficial, which will make it easier for Liu Dai to decide the alliance under the city..."

Facing the inquiring eyes of several people, Guo Jia took the initiative to explain, and he was actually prepared when he had this suggestion.

"What the military advisor said is not without reason, but the military advisor will have to consider more details about how to agree on it at that time..." Zhang Ningyan said.

"What the military advisor said is reasonable. If he gave up attacking Liu Dai, it would be a pity..." Zhang Liao said.

"Well, that's true..." Wu Anguo also echoed.

“…”

Several people had heard what Guo Jia said, and then there was another discussion. Only Gao Shun just listened to the words of a few people and did not speak again.

Although no agreement was reached immediately, judging from the expressions and words of the few people, they almost recognized Guo Jia's identity as a military advisor, and they also deliberately or unintentionally helped Yang Rui fight for Guo Jia with words. Yang Rui had already felt this.

Several counselors and generals were able to communicate and coordinate objectively with each other. It was undoubtedly a good atmosphere, and Yang Rui was also happy to see it. So he was not in a hurry to speak out.

As for Gao Shun's words at this time, Yang Rui was used to it. Just like before, if Gao Shun had his own specific ideas or information, he would definitely say it. Now he did not speak too much, but only means that there is no mature suggestion.

"I have already seen it clearly. What should I do if I temporarily rush to Puyang City and make another decision on the way?"

"After all the instructions of the lord (Mr. Zhou Mu)!"

“…”

After discussing for a while, Yang Rui finally came forward and decided to advance to the city of Puyang first, and then discuss how to respond to Liu Dai's begging for surrender. Originally, Guo Jia wanted to approach Puyang first and force Liu Dai to sign the alliance under the city.

In fact, Yang Rui himself has not finally made up his mind whether to kill Liu Dai or to gain vested interests first. Both solutions actually have their own advantages.

So Yang Rui first rectified his troops and drove up early the next morning, heading straight to the direction of Puyang City. Only 20,000 fourth-level yellow turban soldiers were left in Guan County to guard the city and guard the Liu Dai soldiers they had captured before.

Since the war with Liu Dai, Yang Rui's two troops have captured more than 20,000 Liu Dai's troops in total. It was inconvenient to carry these prisoners, so Yang Rui simply left more soldiers to guard Guanxian County.

In fact, the Liu Dai power around Guan County had been cleaned up and no one could pose a threat. Therefore, Yang Rui's left-behind soldiers were mainly to take care of the prisoners.

Yang Rui's army of 270,000 to 80,000 were moving along the way, and there was no Liu Dai's force to stop him. Two days later, they all arrived near Puyang City. After half a day, they forced the city to go down and set off. Yang Rui sent an envoy to the city.

"Mr. Prefect, Lord Mu of Lieyang Prefecture ordered the young master to come and send a letter and pass a message on behalf of Lord Mu of the Prefecture, hoping that Lord Guo of the Prefect can meet the conditions proposed within one day..."

On the way to Puyang City, Yang Rui and Guo Jia had a lot of exchanges. After asking Guo Jia's detailed plans, Yang Rui adopted the suggestion of accepting Liu Dai's request for surrender without hesitation.

Whether it is the claim conditions proposed by Guo Jia or the specific agreements that restrict Liu Dai, they are very tricky. They actually left two or three traps for Liu Dai. Once Yang Rui wants to conquer Liu Dai one day, his progress will definitely be much simpler than this time.

Under such circumstances, Yang Rui was of course willing to accept Liu Dai's surrender, but it depends on whether Liu Dai would accept the conditions proposed by him.

The one who acted as the messenger who came to the city to deliver the messenger this time was Shuan Zhuzi, an ordinary fourth-level Yellow Turban soldier.

After many battles, Shuan Zhuzi has now become much more mature from the original young soldier, especially the inner momentum that he could not match before, even if he saw Liu Dai, who was the governor of the week at this time.

Shuan Zhuzi kept in mind the explanation of the military advisor and tried his best to be neither humble nor arrogant in his words. While giving full respect to Liu Dai's tone, he did not deliberately welcome Liu Dai. From the details that he dared to look at Liu Dai, it can be clearly seen that Shuan Zhuzi's courage when facing Liu Dai!

Liu Dai hurriedly took the letter from Shuan Zhuzi and tore it open in front of Shuan Zhuzi and started reading it.

No wonder Liu Dai performed like this. This was the most difficult time for him, especially when Yang Rui's troops surrounded Puyang City without any discrimination, he even doubted whether the previous letter of begging for surrender was delivered to Yang Rui.

When it came to Yang Rui's envoys into the city, Liu Dai breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that things might have a little room for ease. He even guessed that Yang Rui chose to encircle Puyang City just to increase the bargaining chips for negotiations.

However, when Liu Dai opened Yang Rui's letter, his face became heavier and heavier until it finally became thicker and could not melt!

This Lord of the State Councilor is still negotiating. The conditions he proposed are no different from his own life!

“It turns out to be so…”

After seeing the conditions proposed by Yang Rui, Liu Dai wanted to tear off the letter on the spot. However, when he was about to scold and was about to throw the letter on the ground, he found that the other party's hand who sent the letter was still in front of him. So Liu Dai forced himself to resist the impulse and stopped it halfway.

If it were normal, Liu Dai had never suffered such a coward, but now he couldn't help but swallow it forcibly. Then he also gave the letter a smile to the soldier.

The opponent is already at the city, what can Liu Dai do?

"You will reply to Lord Mu of Lieyangzhou. Just say that I will consider it for half a day..."

Liu Dai also discovered that although the other party's soldier who was only in level 4, he was not at all stage frightened. He looked at him in a stern manner and showed no comfort at all, and it made people unable to find anything inappropriate.

Liu Dai even suspected that the messenger was a high-level general or a strategist. However, no matter how he looked at it, the messenger was still just a 4th-level soldier... How could he defeat a war if he had such a soldier?

Liu Dai's mood at this time has even been affected, and he feels that he is not as good as Yang Rui in any aspect...

Shuan Zhuzi responded to Yang Rui without mentioning it. After Yang Rui surrounded Puyang City, Qiao Mao, who was originally on the south bank of the Yellow River, also crossed the river with the help of Qingzhou ships and found Yang Rui.

To be honest, before Yang Rui's army arrived, Qiao Mao's troops could actually start crossing the river, but Qiao Mao now has less than 50,000 troops, and Liu Dai's defenders in Puyang City have as many as 150,000. Qiao Mao did not have the courage to face Liu Dai alone from the bottom of his heart.

"Mr. The governor of the state is brave. I have taken down a city in Dingtao. The soldiers of Qingzhou have already reached more than a dozen cities, and Qiao Mao is far from the reach of it! Qiao Mao admires!"

Qiao Mao was saved by Yang Rui, and as soon as he met, he praised Yang Rui very much.

"Dingtao City is strong, Brother Yuanwei can capture it, which shows his strength. Moreover, because Dingtao City is surrounded, Liu Dai's large number of troops are restrained, which is also Yuanwei's great achievement..."

While Yang Rui held Qiao Mao's hand and sat down, he also praised Qiao Mao's achievements.

After entering the game for so long, Yang Rui still has some experiences with NPC. But if you think about it, how can these experiences not be applicable in reality?

"The army of the governor of the state has arrived, and Qiao Mao still has 40,000 to 50,000 troops. What if he starts attacking the city?" Qiao Mao said again after being polite.

Qiao Mao had a grudge against Liu Dai, so he was very eager to capture Puyang City.

"Brother Yuanwei, don't worry, Puyang City is not comparable to other cities. Its moat is wide and the city walls are strong. Even if our troops are superior, it may be difficult to capture for a while. Now, it is better to be the commander of our soldiers to siege the city. Brother Yuanwei can lead his troops to eliminate the power of Liu Dai in various places in Dongjun?

The land of Dongjun was originally the old place of Brother Yuanwei, and now it is just in time to restore Brother Yuanwei's reputation. Even if we cannot conquer Puyang City in the end, we can weaken the other party's foundation to the greatest extent..."

Yang Rui had already responded to Qiao Mao's urging, and this statement was very much for Qiao Mao's appetite, so Qiao Mao quickly agreed.
Chapter completed!
