"You little thief named Yuan, I" Guan Yu, whose scars were uncovered, became furious and opened his mouth to curse.
Tao Qian was startled and shouted: "Guan Yunchang, don't be rude to Mr. Yuan!"
Tao Qian Baba asked Yuan Fang for peace, of course he was afraid that Guan Yu would offend Yuan Fang, ruin the peace talks, and miss his important events.
Guan Yu was so angry after being scolded that he could only swallow it bitterly. Blood rushed to his face, and his face turned red from holding back.
However, Yan Liang also became angry and shouted at Guan Yu: "Guan, don't use your words. If you want to get your sword back, we can have a duel later. If you can beat me, Yan Liang, this Qinglong Sword will naturally return to you." you."
When Guan Yu was choked by Yan Liang, he was so angry that he breathed heavily and his round eyes were so angry that they almost burst out.
Although he was extremely angry, Guan Yu did not dare to accept Yan Liang's "invitation to fight".
He has long been taught how strong Yan Liang¡¯s martial arts is. Now that his arm injury has not healed, and he has lost the Green Dragon Sword, he has no chance of winning if he fights Yan Liang at this time.
"My surname is Yan, please don't be so loud"
When Guan Yu wanted to speak harshly and save some face, Tao Qian's face darkened and he shouted again: "Guan Yunchang, I ordered you not to speak again. How dare you disobey my order!"
With this drink, Guan Yu choked back the harsh words that came to his lips.
Zhang Fei on the other side couldn't stand it and was about to explode on the spot, but Guan Yu glared at Zhang Fei fiercely, hinting that Zhang Fei should not be impulsive.
Although Guan Yu was angry, he still wanted to protect Tao Qian as instructed by Liu Bei. Now that he was reprimanded by Tao Qian, he could only endure it.
Not far away, Chen Deng, who was accompanying him, witnessed the process of Tao Qian teaching Guan Yu. He couldn't help shaking his head slightly and thinking to himself: "Sitting in the land of one state, even if we ask for peace, there is no need to be so afraid of each other. The two armies Before, Tao Zhou Mu¡¯s magnanimity had been completely overshadowed by that Young Master Yuan, it¡¯s a pity"
Not only Chen Deng, but also the hundreds of Xuzhou soldiers accompanying him could clearly see the scene in which their Zhou Mu openly taught his own generals a lesson in order not to offend the enemy.
Tao Qian¡¯s performance today will soon be reported back to Xuzhou by these hundreds of soldiers. This is exactly the effect Yuan Fang wants.
After the goal was achieved, Yuan Fang did not bother to waste time and said loudly: "Chen Yuanlong must have informed Tao Zhoumu of the conditions for peace. Today I asked Tao Zhoumu to come to meet you, just to hear you swear to heaven and personally promise."
Tao Qian nodded in agreement, but with a smile on his face, he started bargaining with Yuan Fang.
Cutting off land is equivalent to cutting off flesh, not to mention cutting off the land at the doorstep of Tancheng, the governor of the state. Tao Qian is naturally heartbroken and will cut as little as possible.
However, Yuan Fang refused to give in and insisted that all counties north of Yangdu City must be ceded to him, otherwise he would fight with each other.
Tao Qian had no choice but to end the war as soon as possible and stabilize his rule. Faced with Yuan Fang's persistence, Tao Qian had no choice but to agree.
In the end, the two sides reached an agreement, and all the counties in Langye Kingdom, including nine counties in the central and northern parts of Yangdu, Linyi, Ju, Dong'an, and Dongwu, were ceded to Yuan Fang.
Tao Qian retained only three counties in the south: Kaiyang, Jiqiu and Zengguo.
Xuzhou is not like Qingzhou, which has been poisoned by the Yellow Turbans. There are no less than 200,000 Dingkou in Langye Kingdom.
Yuan Fangjin occupies most of Langye and nine counties, which has added at least more than 200,000 people to his population.
In these troubled times, this population of 200,000 is really a "windfall". ,
Tao Qian, however, had a sad face and swore to the sky with heartache, promising to cut off the land and ensure that the two families would be repaired and that the water in the well would not interfere with the water in the river.
Yuan Fang was then satisfied and laughed: "Tao Zhou Mu is really generous. Very good. After today, you and I will retreat separately, and Tao Zhou Mu, you can sit back and relax."
"With Mr. Yuan's words, Tao will feel relieved." Tao Qian felt pain in his heart, but he still had to force a smile.
The meeting agreement has been reached. Tao Qian is eager to leave this place that makes him lose face and leave immediately.
Just as he was about to leave, Yuan Fang said solemnly: "Tao Zhoumu, I hope you can learn a lesson this time and don't take the opportunity to offend me again for the sake of petty gains. Otherwise, it won't be as simple as ceding land. Hello. Cherish yourself.¡±
Yuan Fang had a premonition that he would soon fall out with Yuan Shao, and Tao Qian would inevitably take advantage of the situation again. Yuan Fang was warning him in advance.
After saying that, Yuan Fang said no more, turned around, rode his horse, and drove away with Yan Liang and Tai Shi Ci.
Looking at the young man's retreating figure, Tao Qian's old smiling face turned as dark as iron in an instant, and he said bitterly: "Young thief Yuan Fang, if I had no other choice, how could I, Tao Qian, condescend to you? Just wait for me." ?Come on, sooner or later I will ask you to repay tenfold for today's humiliation! "
Tao Qian muttered a harsh word and comforted himself, and Tao Qian also left with a feeling of dissatisfaction.
Five hundred soldiers and horses returned to Yangdu. Yuan Fang was in a very good mood. Along the way, he took stock of the huge gains he had gained from this battle.
After two battles, countless ordnances were captured, and nearly 10,000 enemy soldiers were captured.
"These ordnance prisoners, together with those captured and digested in previous battles, are believed to be enough for him to arm nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses.
This means that Yuan Fang's army will reach 30,000.
After this seemingly crisis was resolved, Yuan Fang also took advantage of the opportunity to eradicate the Qingzhou interior. Those disobedient people used blood and fire to solidly secure Qingzhou.
Qingzhou is firmly established. Even if he is forced to fall out with Yuan Shao in the next step, Yuan Fang is confident that with the help of this state, an army of 30,000 will fight against Yuan Shao.
In addition, he also captured the nine counties of Langye and obtained a springboard to move south to Xuzhou, paving the way for the future capture of Xuzhou.
And in this crisis, another evil plotter like Guo Jia came back and recruited young talents like Brother Zhuge.
All in all, Yuan Fang's gains in this war were far greater than his efforts.
"The immediate crisis has been resolved. The one-year period is coming soon. If Yuan Shao presses too hard, I will have to rise up to resist. Yuan Shao, this behemoth, is the real powerful enemy. I must prepare as soon as possible"
Yuan Fang, who was riding his horse slowly, had withdrawn his thoughts from the victory in front of him and began to think about how to deal with Yuan Shao.
Tao Qian is a self-defeating thief, and Gongsun Zan is headstrong and self-willed. Although these two are strong, they are not as strong as Yuan Shao.
The most troublesome thing is that Yuan Shao is his father in name. Even if Yuan Shao treats him unfairly and despises him, if he openly resists Yuan Shao, he will still be labeled as unfilial by the world.
Morally speaking, Yuan Fang will lose before fighting.
With this bond in mind, Yuan Fang went to Yangdu and told all the civil and military officials under his command about Tao Qian's cession of territory.
The news spread quickly, and the soldiers of the three armies were all rejoicing. The entire Yangdu City was immersed in an atmosphere of excitement and encouragement.
"We have obtained the nine counties of Langxie, so we should be happy. Why does it seem to me that the young master still has something on his mind?" Guo Jia's sharp eyes saw that Yuan Fanghuai had something on his mind.
Yuan Fang's heart moved, thinking that Guo Jia was up to no good. If he informed him of his concerns, he might have a plan.
At this moment, Yuan Fang turned away everyone else, leaving only Guo Jia.
There was no one around, Yuan Fang said in a deep voice: "The one-year period will come soon. You should understand my father's temperament, Fengxiao. You should also know very well how he will treat me, Fengxiao."
"Oh, it's not a big deal." Guo Jia took a sip of wine and said disapprovingly: "Qingzhou was conquered by the young master. Didn't the young master already have his determination?"
Although Guo Jia did not say it explicitly, the implication was that he had seen that Yuan Fang would never give up Qingzhou even if he risked falling out with Yuan Shao.
"Those who know me are Fengxiao." Yuan Fang sighed with a smile, "What I'm worried about is the father-son relationship between me and that person. This relationship will make me passive when the time comes. You should understand Fengxiao. "
Dialogue between smart people does not need to be so straightforward. Yuan Fang pointed out his concerns tactfully.
"This is indeed a difficult problem" Guo Jia held the wine in his mouth and refused to swallow it for a long time. He frowned and fell into deep thought.
After pondering for a long time, Guo Jia's eyes lit up and he said with a sly smile: "Young master, don't worry, Jia has a plan to help you get rid of those annoying shackles."
