Shen Pei looked at Gongsun Zan in silence. He could feel Gongsun Zan's sincerity. Because of this sincerity, Shen Pei discovered for the first time that besides being headstrong, brainless, and self-righteous, Shen Pei also had admirable shining points.
Shen Pei thought silently.
Looking at Gongsun Zan at this moment, Shen Pei couldn't help but feel awe, and no longer treated Gongsun Zan with the same contemptuous attitude as before.
Internally, he Shenpei and Gongsun Zan are enemies, but externally Gongsun Zan is a hero. When dealing with heroes, especially heroes of one's own side, even if they have different political opinions, they cannot erase his achievements or insult his personality.
"This is the message Chen Kongzhang wrote for you." Shen Pei took out the messy message from his arms and handed it to Gongsun Zan, which made Yuan Shao angry.
Gongsun Zan frowned and opened the paper handed to him by the reviewer. After browsing it, he laughed and said, "Hahaha, as expected of Chen Kongzhang who is famous for his words. What he said is so true to my feelings. Well done."
"It's not to show this memorandum to the general." Shen Pei shook his head and said, "After all, this memorandum has a huge impact on my lord. I will not show it to the general unless necessary. Does the general know that Chen Kongzhang is here? Under what circumstances did you write this statement?¡±
"When else could it be." Gongsun Zan said with a sneer, "These literati only know how to write and write and don't want to serve the country. Yuan Benchu ??must have offended him. I am just a spear he used to attack Yuan Benchu."
Gongsun Zan is not stupid. He and Chen Lin had no interaction, so Chen Lin's speech for him was definitely not something that could be explained by sighing about his loyalty and integrity.
"That's not the case. It's because a big event happened in the Central Plains, and I came here because I saw an opportunity in this big event." Shen Pei said with a smile. It was precisely because he learned that Lu Bu was marching north that he saw a glimmer of hope in persuading Gongsun Zan.
"What major event happened in the Central Plains?" Gongsun Zan was stunned for a moment, and then sighed, "It is located in Liaodong, and there is little information. It can't even take care of the Central Plains."
Shen Pei looked at Gongsun Zan¡¯s face and sighed inwardly, then recounted the whole thing without any emotion of his own.
Gongsun Zan listened quietly to Shen Pei's retelling, and sighed when he heard Lu Bubei returned to the state and swore to conquer the Hetao.
"This is the case, general, and the general must have understood what I came here to do. Please think deeply, general, if my lord Yuan Benchu ??can tolerate Wen Hou's return to the north and merge with the state, then as long as the general swears to the people of the world to garrison the northern border, I think my lord It must be accepted." The judge bowed to Gongsun Zan solemnly.
"Lu Fengxian returned to the north and merged with the state. Yuan Benchu ??actually has such courage, and he is Yuan Benchu. Although Hulao's performance was unsatisfactory at the beginning, he still faced Dong Zhuo's Yuan Benchu ??after all." Gongsun Zan murmured to himself.
"General, my lord does not have a mortal enemy with you. On the contrary, my lord admires those border guard generals who were stationed in the north to protect the Central Plains during the Great War. To the Han Dynasty, the conflict between you and my lord is nothing more than the conflict between our brothers because of their family property. Disputes. And foreigners are our real enemies." Seeing Gongsun Zan muttering to himself, Shen Pei quickly struck a chord while the iron was hot.
"What was the conflict between me and Yuan Benchu ??in the first place?" After hearing Shen Pei's words, Gongsun Zan began to look at his battle with Yuan Shao from another angle. I couldn't help but think of the reason for their initial conflict.
"I can't believe Yuan Benchu!" Gongsun Zan, who was still thinking, suddenly flashed a cold light in his eyes, "The reason why I fought with him is because he lied to me. There is no other reason, just because he lied to me!"
Shen Pei opened his mouth. Gongsun Zan, who was already tempted, inexplicably rejected his proposal, and the reason was that he didn't believe Yuan Shao.
"You probably haven't joined Yuan Shao's army at that time. You may not believe it when I tell you. When he told me to help him expel Han Fu, he said he would give me half of Jizhou after the event was completed. I saw that he did have the style of an alliance leader, so I helped him." Gongsun Zan saw the puzzled look in Shen Pei's eyes and said with a nostalgic look on his face.
"Speaking of it, I really didn't have any superfluous thoughts when I helped Yuan Shao. As for dividing Jizhou equally, I never thought about it. I am in the north of Youzhou, and there is Liu Bo'an between me and him. If Liu Bo'an doesn't die, I will even join Youzhou. If I can't capture all the states and I can't capture Youzhou, how can I divide Jizhou equally?" Gongsun Zan seemed to have been greatly wronged and now someone finally listened to him.
Hearing this, Shen Pei felt his hands and feet were cold. He couldn't help looking at Gongsun Zan with confused eyes and asked, "Then, since you don't need Jizhou, why do you ask for it?"
"Are you asking for it? I just sent my brother to congratulate him. Liu Bo'an and I are at odds. He grabbed my logistics. I helped Yuan Benchu, one because he is the leader of the alliance, and the other for the future.Without Liu Bo'an's restrictions, why do I need an enclave as my territory? Gongsun Zan shook his head and said.
"" Shen Pei finally understood why when Gongsun Yue went to claim Jizhou, he did not bring troops and horses, but only a few civil servants. The other party came to congratulate Yuan Shao, and formed an alliance with Yuan Shao, hoping to use half of the agreed upon After the exchange of Jizhou, Gongsun Zan went north to conquer the grain of the Hu people, which meant that he hoped that Yuan Shao would support Gongsun Zan in conquering Wuwan Xianbei.
Gongsun Yue is Gongsun Zan's younger brother. If he really came to ask for Jizhou, how could he not know the danger? How could he not bring the white horse righteous followers with him? That is the fastest cavalry in the world. Not to mention fighting, at least the white horse righteous followers are there, so there is no special situation. The terrain means that if you want to run, no one can stop you.
The trial matchmaker finally understood many of the unreasonable things at the beginning. It turned out that they had been wrong from the beginning.
Shen Pei completely understood that Gongsun Zan had not made preparations at all to capture Jizhou. He just wanted to extinguish the fire. However, the combat effectiveness of Youzhou's infantry cavalry that had been tempered was really terrifying. Even if the logistics were not guaranteed, Yuan Shao was still almost killed. Only then did Gongsun Zan come up with the idea of ??occupying all of Jizhou. (To be continued)
