Chapter 284 The Insatiable Greed Gongsun Zan
Tian Feng came to the big tent, neither humble nor arrogant, and bowed his hands to salute.
Gongsun Zan waved his hand and asked Tian Feng to sit down, and asked, "Mr. Tian is the chief minister of Wang Lei. When I come to pay my respects to me this time, I will not be afraid that I will chop you up and then return my head to Wang Lei in anger!"
Tian Feng said: "The person has arrived, but the general has not given the order yet. What's the fear of Tian Feng?"
"Ha, I'm really not afraid of death!" Gongsun Zan's smile disappeared, his expression suddenly became cold and domineering, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Come here!" After the words came, a soldier ran in quickly.
Gongsun Zan shook his sleeves and said, "Drag it down and behead it!"
The soldier walked towards Tian Feng, but saw Tian Feng glaring and said steadily: "Don't do it, I will leave myself!" Without a word of refutation, Tian Feng walked straight outside the tent.
Gongsun Zan stared at Tian Feng, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. Is Tian Feng really not afraid of death or pretending! The soldier took Tian Feng away and was about to walk out of the tent, Gongsun Zan shouted: "Let's wait!"
The soldiers stopped, and Tian Feng stood there.
Gongsun Zan had a smile on his face again and said, "Tian Feng, you are really not afraid of death!"
Tian Feng turned around, faced Gongsun Zan with his head held high and his chest raised, and said, "As the lord's envoy, I have considered the situation of being killed before coming. If I were afraid of death, I would not be an envoy. Gongsun Prefect would kill him if he wanted to kill him. It's so nonsense!"
Gongsun Zan smiled and said, "I just want to test Tian Changshi and see how brave the people under Wang Lei's tent are. Tian Changshi is full of courage and admirable, sit down!"
Tian Feng took the donkey down the slope and returned to the seat.
Gongsun Zan's attack on Jizhou was due to interests, but he still felt guilty towards Wang Lei.
Friendship is there, but it is just not as good as power.
Gongsun Zan took a deep breath and said slowly: "I suddenly led the army into Jizhou, caught Wang Lei off guard, and occupied Zhongshan Kingdom. Wang Lei probably hated a certain family to the core!"
Tian Feng was happy. Before leaving, Guo Jia said that he would move Gongsun Zan with affection.
Gongsun Zan took the initiative to mention Wang Lei, which even more suited Guo Jia's judgment.
Tian Feng looked calm and said with neither humility nor arrogant: "Gongsun Prefect has been worried too much. The lord was not angry about the war. He just said that he had expected such a day, but he didn't expect it to come so early!"
"Oh, why?" Gongsun Zan asked in confusion.
Tian Feng faced Gu Jing Bubo and continued: "When Han Fu was alive, he had formed an alliance with Gongsun Prefect. That was the interest trend of both sides, so that he could become an allies. Once the interests of both sides could not reach a balance, the relationship would break down. Just as Yuan Shao asked Gongsun Prefect to divide Jizhou together, Gongsun Prefect agreed. This is why Yuan Shao gave greater benefits, and the lord gave less!"
"When the princes discuss friendship, friendship belongs to friendship, and political affairs belongs to political affairs, and we cannot confuse them!"
"There is no father and son on the battlefield. Although the lord and Gongsun Prefecture are rare confidants, when they go to the battlefield, they are the enemy. They can no longer talk about friendship and are in different positions. Gongsun Prefecture has his own means and position. As the governor of Jizhou, the lord also has different means and position in dealing with things, and different needs!"
Tian Feng talked freely, as if he was Gongsun Zan’s confidant, and was guiding Gongsun Zan: “In order to seek greater benefits, Gongsun Prefect wants to have stronger strength, and it is natural to expand. The lord had expected that the two sides would fight, so it was not a matter of hatred!”
After hearing this, Gongsun Zan suddenly felt relieved.
It turned out that Wang Lei did not blame him.
For a moment, the feeling of shame in Gongsun Zan's heart became even worse. He felt that Wang Lei was worthy of friendship. Unfortunately, the two sides had different positions and were an opposing enemy.
Gongsun Zan understood Wang Lei’s thoughts, changed the subject and said, “Chief Tian came to pay homage as an envoy. He must have come by Wang Lei’s order. Tell me! What’s wrong!”
Tian Feng replied: "The lord is sent down and plans to discuss peace with Gongsun Prefect!"
"Peacekeeping!"
Gongsun Zan was surprised, but he didn't expect that such news was.
For Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Zan is also facing the pressure exerted by Liu Yu. If he can negotiate peace with Wang Lei and achieve balance of interests, it is naturally the best. Gongsun Zan will also abandon Yuan Shao and stop marching, but peace talks must involve the occupied territory, and Gongsun Zan does not want to spit it out.
Gongsun Zan said calmly: "Wang Lei intends to discuss peace, what conditions should he give!"
Tian Feng thought briefly and replied: "The lord's conditions are very simple. Gongsun Prefect evacuated Xiaquyang County and returned to Zhongshan Kingdom. Both sides used Zhongshan Kingdom and Hejian Kingdom as the borders and did not invade each other!"
Gongsun Zan took a deep breath, but he didn't expect Wang Lei to ced Zhongshan Kingdom.
This is a hero who cuts his arm off!
Wang Lei’s courage is not simple.
Gongsun Zan was not an easy person to satisfy, and he was very thoughtful. He continued: "It is okay to withdraw from Xiaquyang County, but some of the Hejian Kingdom, which is adjacent to Zhongshan Kingdom, are willing to surrender to our officials. I also want control of the Hejian Kingdom and let Wang Lei assign it to me!"
Tian Feng glared and shouted, "Gongsun Prefect, you are getting more and more flawed!"
Gongsun Zan said without any haste: "I don't like to listen to what Tian Changshi said. Hejian is in chaos and Wang Lei is unable to manage it. I will take it here to manage it so that Hejian will not be affected. Tian Changshi, do you think so?"
Tian Feng said with a cold face: "I didn't expect that Gongsun Zan was insatiable!"
Gongsun Zan's expression was no longer friendly and said coldly: "I don't plan to continue the war because I have a certain friendship with Wang Lei. Otherwise, I must lead the army to march straight into Ye County!"
Tian Feng stood up and said angrily: "I hope Gongsun Taishou will keep his promise and withdraw his troops immediately!"
Gongsun Zan said: "Gongsun Zan still has this credit!"
Tian Feng said goodbye and left. Gongsun Zan immediately sent soldiers to inquire about Wang Lei's situation. When he learned that the Yellow Turban Thiefs in Qingzhou, Guan Hai, had entered Jizhou, Gongsun Zan took the initiative to believe that it was the reason for Guan Hai's surprise attack, which led to Wang Lei's helpless request for peace.
In fact, Gongsun Zan had no intention of killing him any more.
On the one hand, Gongsun Zan was under pressure from Liu Yu; on the other hand, Gongsun Zan had to divide his troops to control the Hejian Kingdom. With Zhongshan Kingdom and Hejian Kingdom, and with his Beiping County, he was already quite good.
Tian Feng returned to the Beili River barracks and immediately went to the Central Army's tent to hand over the service.
When he saw Wang Lei, Tian Feng reported the news carefully.
When Wang Lei learned that Tian Feng had given Hejian Kingdom to Gongsun Zan, he did not blame him and said, "The current Hejian Kingdom is controlled by Yuan Shao. Gongsun Zan wants to take it away. Just let Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan fight, which is more beneficial to us. When the crisis in Jizhou has stabilized and overcome the current difficulties, we will deal with Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan!"
Tian Feng said: "Lord, when will we withdraw our troops?"
Wang Lei replied: "There has been news from Xiaquyang County that Gongsun Zan has withdrawn and the crisis in Wei County has been temporarily lifted, but the Beili River still needs troops to be stationed. Taishi Ci, Yu Duhe and the Qinggu stayed at the Beili River. You, me, Fengxiao, Dian Wei, and the soldiers from the Tiger Camp and the Flying Tiger Camp will withdraw and go to Wei County to solve the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou!"
Tian Feng agreed with Wang Lei's point of view and went down to prepare immediately.
Immediately, Wang Lei sent someone to call Taishi Ci.
Taishici quickly arrived and said respectfully: "Lord!"
Wang Lei ordered: "Ziyi, Tian Feng has completed the mission. Gongsun Zan withdrew from Julu County. Although the war has stopped, we must be wary of it. I appoint you as the prefect of Julu County, General Xuanwei, and lead troops to station in the Beili River area. You are in power in Julu County. I hope you can manage Julu County well, strengthen training, and consolidate the defense of Julu County!"
Taishici looked excited and clasped his fists and said, "I will obey the order!"
After Wang Lei appointed Taishi Ci, the handover immediately began. It took not long and the army completed the handover. That afternoon, Wang Lei withdrew with the troops of the Tiger Camp and the Flying Tiger Camp, leaving Taishi Ci and others to station in the Beili River.
Chapter completed!
