Chapter 272 The second mouth(2/2)
Don’t say anything, just negotiate the terms.”
Guo Tu hesitated for a while and finally replied: "Two thousand war horses, please withdraw from Qingzhou and join forces to attack Cao. This is the condition that my head of the family has made public."
"If I want five thousand war horses, Qingzhou will draw the Ji River as the boundary, Mr. Gongze may agree to the father-in-law?" Deputy Director Tao asked calmly.
"Impossible!" Mr. Guo Tu shook his head firmly, slowed down again, and said carefully: "Eunuch, even if you kill me, I dare not agree like this. The explanation given to me by the lord will at most give in a thousand yuan.
A war horse.”
"If I insist on five thousand war horses and Qingzhou is bounded by Jishui, will my father-in-law agree?" Deputy Director Tao asked.
"It's impossible." Guo Tu continued to shake his head and explained: "Eunuch, you also know the lord's temper. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most respectful person in the world. It is such a shame to cede most Qingzhou County to seek peace.
The lord would rather die than do it. So the war horses may be discussed, but the land and city are absolutely impossible."
"Mr. Gongze, how about we two make a separate transaction?" Deputy Director Tao said with a smile: "You try to get your father-in-law to agree to my conditions, and I will let you go back to Jizhou."
"Eunuch, are you joking?" Guo Tu said in surprise: "I am just a counselor under the lord's tent. How can I make my lord agree to such conditions?"
"I believe that sir can." Deputy Director Tao smiled and said, "I have heard that the civil and military officials under the father-in-law are divided into two factions, one is led by Mr. Yuan Tan and Mr. Shen Pei, and the other is led by Mr. Yuan Shang and Mr. Shen Pei.
Whenever there is a problem, the two factions will argue endlessly, which makes my father-in-law in a dilemma and doesn't know how to choose. But if the gentleman can stand on my side this time, coupled with the three young masters and his faction who are already close to me, there should be hope to convince my father-in-law.
Accept this condition.”
"This..." Guo Tu looked puzzled.
"Sir, please think about it carefully." Deputy Director Tao said with a smile: "This is also for your own future. If Mr. insists on refusing to help me, then in order to favor the interests of my wife and brother, I can only do it.
Mr. I will always stay in Xuzhou, but if Mr. I can favor my interests, of course I will not repay my kindness with grudges.”
On one side, there is a dead end, and on the other side, there is a slightly hopeful way to survive. For the sake of his own interests, Mr. Guo Tu, who is the two famous generals in Hebei, naturally knows how to choose, and is not right: "But the envoy, even if you are in the lower house, you can
I promise you, but I am in Xuzhou, and I can’t do it even if I want to persuade my lord for the envoy.”
"It's okay to persuade me with letters. Isn't it enough to ask the eldest son to come forward to help me with the letter?" Deputy Director Tao smiled and said, "Actually, this is not difficult. Please ask my father-in-law to grant our general Zang Ba a commander-in-chief of Qingzhou.
Let General Zang Ba guard the land of Qingzhou east of the Ji River, so that he can live up to his face."
"Then..." Mr. Guo Tu hesitated for a long time before he said, "Then do your best. If you can succeed, please keep your promise."
