Chapter Three Five Five

Yang Fan's amnesty for Bingzhou was revealed to Emperor Liu Xie, intentionally or unintentionally. However, Liu Xie was already a magpies in the cage. Even if he knew Yang Fan's wolfish ambition, he was powerless at the moment.

Liu Xie had no other choice except to sigh every day.

Let’s not mention Liu Xie’s thoughts for the time being, but only the people of Bingzhou once again felt the kindness of the Yang family army. Although the price was a bit high, Yang Fan still earned a lot of people’s hearts. As the saying goes, efforts are proportional to returns.

Just when Yang Fan was happy to find Lin'er, Yuan Shao's adviser Xun Chen also rushed to Jincheng, Liangzhou to meet Han Sui.

Since Han Sui became the prefect of Jincheng and the general of Zhenxi, he has gained fame in the Xiliang realm. Later, Han Sui spent more than a year to finally let him completely control Jincheng County.

However, in this great battle, it was an era when the times created heroes. In this Liangzhou area, not only Han Sui's family was doing well, but Ma Teng, the prefect of Longxi County, also took advantage of the situation.

The military strength of the two was about 30,000. These 60,000 young and middle-aged people were of great importance to Liangzhou, which had a population of only more than 500,000. Han Sui and Ma Teng also became warlords holding heavy power in Liangzhou.

As Xun Yu showed his head and feet, the Xun family gradually became discovered by various princes, and their reputations were faintly overwhelming the generals with high martial arts skills.

Yang Fan started his last moments and his merits were the most talked about by people. A year ago, Yang Fan used the unknown Xun Yu as a separate leader in Bingzhou, which made all the princes unable to guess, including Han Sui.

At first, Han Sui also used other princes, thinking that Yang Fan would put Han Fu, Kong Rong and other celebrities and wise men, but he used the young man Xun Yu who was not optimistic about. This move is undoubtedly a way to perish himself.

However, in just one year, Bingzhou has undergone earth-shaking changes. Although most of them are related to some benevolent policies issued by Yang Fan, it does not prevent anyone from seeing Xun Yu's ability.

And Han Sui is one of these people who are interested. As the saying goes, wise government orders also require capable officials to implement them, so that they can achieve results. Otherwise, if the genius formulates policies and policies but is implemented by fools, it may not have the opposite effect. That would be a joke.

Han Sui naturally had some small thoughts about Xun Chen's arrival, and he saw that he met Xun Chen with special solemnly, Liang Xing, Cheng Yin and other confidant generals accompanied him throughout the whole process.

This move made Xun Chen a little flattered.

Han Sui was dressed in gorgeous clothes and several generals beside him. After both sides greeted him politely, Han Sui asked: "Youruo, you came from Jizhou thousands of miles away from my bitter and cold land in Liangzhou. What's the matter?"

After all, Xun Chen is young and has extraordinary wisdom, but as an envoy, he is inevitably not good enough to do things. Especially when facing a talented person like Han Sui who is too thoughtful, he is even more no match for him.

Xun Chen smiled and replied, "Premier Han, Chen, on the order of our lord Yuan Jizhou, we came to Liangzhou and Han to discuss the affairs of our two alliances."

Han Sui's face was calm, but his heart was swiftly flying. He thought about what Xun Chen said, but he couldn't figure it out. Why did Yuan Shao send an envoy to form an alliance with him? He couldn't figure it out, so he naturally asked. Han Sui said calmly: "Oh? It's not impossible to form an alliance, but there is something that really puzzled me. I wonder if my friends can solve my doubts?"

Xun Chen smiled and said, "I would like to ask the famous sayings of Prefect Han!"

Han Sui didn't hide it and asked directly in confusion: "Youruo, Jizhou and my Liangzhou are separated by Bingzhou, Sili, and Yuan Jizhou to form an alliance with me? We are thousands of miles apart, and we can't face each other, trade or exchange. Even if we form an alliance, it is really a waste of money for both of us!"

Xun Chen knew that Han Sui would probably ask about this matter as soon as he guessed. He directly said the draft that he had prepared in his heart to the Han Sui: "The prefect of Han doesn't know that the alliance between our two families will not become a waste, but will be an opportunity for our two families to vigorously develop."

Han Sui jumped and thought to himself, "Would Yuan Shao have any big moves?" Bingzhou, which is separated by Yang Fan, could it be an alliance between them? Is it a matter of Bingzhou?"

The more Han Sui thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high. He glanced at Xun Chen and asked softly: "Is it possible that Yuan Jizhou wants to be infected with Bingzhou? He is not afraid that Gongsun Zan of Youzhou will take the opportunity to seize his retreat?"

Xun Chen was shocked when he heard this and thought to himself that Han Sui was really not a good-looking person. He just made him guess some of his intentions by complimenting Han Sui just now. If he continued to talk like this, Xun Chen was really worried. Will Han Sui guess their intentions? That would be a big loss.

As the saying goes, there is a line between conversations, so that it can leave room for both parties. However, when he thought about this, Xun Chen went against the rules and directly told Han Sui and Pan what Yuan Shao meant. Of course, he still reserved some things.

Xun Chen said, "Prince Han is really amazing. It is worthy of being the Nine Curves of the Yellow River that is praised by the world. Before the boy could explain it, Prefect Han could guess seven or eight points. That's right, just as Prefect Han said, my lord wants to form an alliance with Prefect Han, plot the land of Bingzhou, and rescue the emperor from the hands of the treacherous minister and Yang Fan. I don't know if Prefect Han has enough courage?"

Han Sui looked unhappy and said in a deep voice: "I treat Youruo honestly, but Youruo still has the heart to deceive me. How can I feel at ease to form an alliance with Yuan Jizhou?"

Xun Chen looked puzzled and asked, "Why did Prefect Han say this? Chen, where did you deceive Prefect Han?"

Han Sui laughed a few times and asked with a chuckle: "I heard that at the beginning of the year, Yuan Jizhou was plotted against him, and his life and death were unknown. Gongsun Zan took the opportunity to raise an army to go south. Fortunately, your second son Yuan was powerful and led his army north to resist Gongsun Zan. The two sides fought so hard that it was hard to get along. First, Gongsun Zan's confidant general Yan Gang was beheaded by Ju Yi, and then Gongsun Zan's clan brothers, Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Fan was beheaded by Wen Chou and Gao Gan. Finally,

Gongsun Zan also ambushed the high-ranking officials. With just one battle, Gongsun Zan suffered losses and lost his troops. It can be said that he was injured and moved his bones. Tsk tsk... Now you two are already a life-and-death enemy. Everyone wants to get rid of each other and get faster. At this time, the autumn harvest has just passed, and it is time for the use of troops. Yuan Benchu ​​still has the strength to get involved in Bingzhou? Did he think that our Western Liang men are so deceiving? Let me lead the army to hold Yang Fan so that Yuan Shao can fight Gongsun Zan with all his strength?"

Xun Chen was shocked when he heard this and said to himself, Han Sui was so powerful. The two of them had only just a few words since they talked to him. Han Sui guessed Yuan Shao's intentions.

Liang Xing was straightforward and Han Sui's confidant. When he heard Han Sui say this, he immediately said disdainfully: "Yang Bowen has 300,000 troops and 400,000 troops, more than ten times that of our army. How dare you let us invade Yang Fan's Bingzhou? It's really ambition. Fortunately, my master's wise eyes are as sharp as a rifle, then he realized the tricks of you and others. Humph, do you think that our Liangzhou man is straightforward and can be deceived?"

Cheng Yin also laughed and said, "I am arrogant. Yuan Shao has up to 300,000 troops, so he dares to fight on both sides? Do you think we are all fools?"

Xun Chen was so palpitations that he was talking about it, but he still said with a thorn in his mouth: "You are so short-sighted?"

Han Sui was stunned when he heard this and asked, "Would you still have different opinions?"

At this time, Han Sui also confirmed Xun Chen's intention to come this time, and there was nothing good at it. If it weren't for the sake of the Xun family's children, Han Sui would have to speak out and chase people.

Xun Chen's face was heavy and he thought to himself, Han Sui was too powerful, so he could only act in danger.

Thinking of this, he admitted freely and easily: "What Han Taishou said just now is right, and my master is also using this idea."

Liang Xing, who was standing by, saw Xun Chen admitting, immediately spoke sarcastically: "Since you, a white scholar, have you admitted it, what else can you say? Hurry up and go where can you go!"

After Xun Chen glanced at Liang Xing, he smiled at Han Sui and said, "Is there anyone in this Jincheng that is more effective than you, Prefect Han, who speaks?"

Han Sui was not angry either. How could he not see such a clumsy plan of disagreement? After he reached out to stop Liang Xing, he smiled at Xun Chen: "Xiliang is a bitter and cold place. We don't have as many colorful intestines as you Central Plains people. If my general had offended anything before, I hope my friend will be willing to let him go. Well, I promise that no one will disturb you anymore. If you are the general, it's okay. Let's wait, listen carefully."

Xun Chen smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll be blunt. Gongsun Zan has a deep hatred with my lord Yuan Jizhou. This is true. After the autumn harvest, my lord and Gongsun Zan will have a battle, but Yang Fan plans to make a decision for my Jizhou for a long time. If our army and Gongsun Zan fight together, Yang Fan will definitely lead his army to take advantage of it. At that time, it will be your chance to send troops to the prefect."

Han Sui thought something and smiled, "Oh, it seems that Yuan Shao is really planning to start a war on both sides?"

Xun Chen smiled bitterly when he heard this, "If it weren't forcing me, who would have been willing to offend the two princes at the same time?"

Han Sui asked, "Then what benefits can I have?"

Seeing that Han Sui's tone was a little loose, Xun Chen quickly struck while the iron was hot, "I think the prefect of Han knows that my Jizhou has always been rich. Now our lord has recruited more than 400,000 troops and plans to go north to fight Gongsun Zan. At the same time, he sent a fierce general to defend the border between Jizhou and Bingzhou. Although his Yang family army has strong combat power, our Jizhou army is not a vegetarian. As long as our army drags down the main force of the Yang family army, the rear will be empty. At that time, isn't it your Han army's chance?"
