The night was dark, and in the big tent, Gongsun Bai was talking secretly with Pang Tong, Guo Jia, and Xu Shu.
On Gongsun Bai's desk, there was a letter, which was Cao Cao's letter asking for peace.
"Dedicate the land of Qingzhou to seek peace, and ask the court to crown me as the king of Yan, this condition seems to be quite good."
Gongsun Bai smiled faintly, with a hint of mockery on the corner of his mouth.
Guo Jia also smiled: "Most of the people in the land of Qingzhou defected to Liaodong and Jizhou, and now there are no three out of ten, and the population of the entire Qingzhou is less than 500,000, and once the lord takes Yanzhou, he will cut off the connection between Qingxu and Sili and Yuzhou, and Cao Cao's territory will be divided into two, and Qingxu and Erzhou will sooner or later be in the lord's bag."
As for the matter of sealing the king, it is more like a trap, once the Cao thief proposes to seal the king, His Majesty will be in a dilemma, the seal is not, not the seal is not, even if His Majesty does not doubt it, the lord can dare to accept the position of King Yan This Cao thief is really treacherous."
Xu Shu also echoed casually: "Let's not talk about the conditions for peace, just this Puyang Alliance, I'm afraid it is also a Hongmen banquet, there are many traps, Cao Thief is a bully, no one cares about the lord."
Pang Tong next to him smiled bitterly: "Cao Thief is in a hurry to go to the doctor, once the lord does not notice, he will fall into his trap."
If the lord does not agree, now that the wind and snow are about to rise, it is not appropriate to attack the city, but he has nothing to fear. ” Gongsun Bai slowly picked up the wine bottle on the table, drank half of it slowly, and suddenly a strange thought flashed in his mind, and asked with a smile: "What if I am willing to take the initiative to be fooled?"
The faces of the three changed slightly, they glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Absolutely not" Gongsun Bai laughed coldly: "Back then, the national prince led five hundred white horses to whip from the prancing horse into the Xu capital, and regarded the thousands of Cao thieves as if they were nothing, and returned safely.
And now Puyang only has more than 10,000 defenders under Zang Ba, if I bring 5,000 white horses to Yi and go, who in the world can trap my own country" Guo Jia said helplessly: "If the lord can really return safely, in fact, it is also a turning point, the lord can take advantage of the paralysis of the Cao army during the covenant, secretly send a large army to the south, sweeping the central and southern parts of Yanzhou, so as to cut off Cao Cao's territory, then the Cao thief will inevitably abandon Qingxu and protect Yuzhou and the land of Sili, so that Qingxu and the two states will naturally return to the lord."
It's just that the Cao thief will inevitably set up a heavy ambush in Puyang, and the main culprit is more auspicious and less auspicious, so it is really not appropriate to take this risk. ” Gongsun Bai smiled proudly, looked at Pang Tong and Xu Shu again, and asked, "What if the prince can return safely?"
After Pang Tong and Xu Shu exchanged glances with each other, they smiled bitterly and said: "If the safety of the lord can be ensured, then what Feng Xiao said is extremely true, and Yanzhou can take advantage of this to capture it in one fell swoop." ” Gongsun Bai asked again: "If I don't accept Cao Thief's peace agreement and attack Cao Thief with all my might, when can I take Yanzhou?"
Pang Tong said: "Although Cao Thief was greatly injured after the battle of Guandu, if he sticks to the city and devotes all his soldiers and horses to defend the land of Yanzhou, and the lord fights one city and one place, he will not be able to occupy the entire territory of Yanzhou in two or three years." ” Gongsun Bai suddenly slapped the case, and said decisively: "Since this is the case, Lao Tzu will bet on him and decide the winner."
Guo Jia was shocked and said urgently: "By all means, the lord is only fifty out of twenty now, and he is in his prime, and the Cao thief is already close to the destiny of heaven, and it should be the Cao thief who is in a hurry, not the lord." ” Gongsun Bai shook his head and said: "Are you telling me to kill him, my Gongsun Bai can afford to wait, the people of the world can't afford to wait, you have to wait for Hugh to dissuade him" He paused for a moment and said: "The white horse is righteous, unparalleled in the world, there are only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Puyang, if I only allow Cao Thief to lead 5,000 Tiger Guards to accompany me, if Cao Thief dares to attack me, I will naturally take his head and return to sweep the land north of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop."
Once a person's force value is high, it will increase a bit of bravery and adventurous spirit, and this is the case with Gongsun Bai at this moment.
Now the combat effectiveness of the white horse Yicong under his command is invincible in the world, and the equipment equipped with it has surpassed this era, plus his own force has also reached 98, ranking among the top few fierce generals in the world, and his self-confidence has naturally skyrocketed.
Seeing that the three strategists were still trying to persuade each other, Gongsun Bai was already displeased: "I have the dragon halberd in my hand, and I have the flying blood divine horse, even if I am among thousands of troops, I can retreat safely, you don't need to persuade again, you only need to discuss the plan to attack Yanzhou." ” Once the mighty lord of the Northland has decided, he cannot change it.
The decision to kill is originally the style that a master should have, although it is often criticized for being stubborn and self-serving because of errors in judgment.
However, since ancient times, the king has been defeated, whether it is a decision to kill, or a stubborn self-use, and in the end, the hero is judged by success or failure.
Seeing that Gongsun Bai insisted on this, the three of them were full of helplessness, and they didn't dare to speak out again after all.
The cold wind is blowing, and the Xudu in late autumn is getting colder and colder day by day, the fallen leaves in the air are fluttering one after another, and the ground has fallen a thick layer, which is more and more cold and bleak.
At the north gate, several horsemen galloped over, shouting something at the guards at the gate, and then rushed towards the city, straight to the Lu Gongfu.
In the hall of the Duke of Lu's Mansion, Cao Cao, who had recovered from his arrow wounds, had already gotten rid of the shadows in the battle of Guandu, and was drinking and discussing with a group of confidant generals such as Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, Xu Huang, Cao Ren, Le Jin, Man Cheng and Liu Ye.
In order to show his high spirits and comfort the hearts of the generals, Cao Cao not only drank red, but also made the singers in the palace sing and dance.
For a while, the sound of silk and bamboo in the hall, the jade shadow, coupled with the sound of staggering and talking and laughing, seemed very lively.
Outside the hall, a small colonel rushed in, and after confessing to the strategists and generals on both sides, he hurried to Cao Cao and respectfully knelt down to present a letter.
Cao Cao opened the letter suspiciously, and after a hurried glance, his expression froze instantly.
Everyone's eyes fell on his face, the chatter, laughter, and bargaining stopped abruptly, and the singers seemed to sense something and stopped.
There was silence in the hall, and everyone looked at Cao Cao nervously, not knowing why.
Cao Cao's face was cloudy, and it took a long time to calm down, and he laughed: "Gongsun Xiao'er, you really fell for it." ” After speaking, he passed the letterhead in his hand, starting with Cheng Yu, until everyone finished circulating.
Cao Cao asked in a deep voice: "What do you think?"
Cao Ren said excitedly: "Gongsun Bai Xiao'er, the first time he tasted the fruits of victory, he got carried away like this, he really didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he was looking for his own death, it was really God to help Lu Gongye."
Xu Huang also said angrily: "Gongsun Xiao'er is arrogant and domineering, he has not tasted a defeat since his debut, he only led five hundred white horses to return safely from entering the Xu capital, and now Guandu has a new victory, since he does not put the heroes of the Central Plains in his eyes, it is time for the lord to give Gongsun Xiao'er a fatal blow."
A group of generals asked for battle one after another, and the crowd was angry.
Cao Cao was noncommittal, and looked back at Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, Man Chong, Liu Ye and Mao Jue and other strategists, with an inquiring meaning in his eyes.
Cheng Yuzheng and Jia Xu were whispering, and when they saw Cao Cao looking over, they hurriedly said: "Gongsun Bai Xiao'er has always been quite strategic, and he is not brave or unstrategic.
I waited for him to agree to negotiate peace this time, I am afraid that it is to repair the plank road in the open and Chen Cang in the dark.
When peace is discussed, it is the time when he raises troops to go south, and he also asks the lord to think twice. ” Cao Cao bowed slightly: "In this way, all the princes have the same opinion, that is, Gongsun Bai Xiao'er will inevitably come as promised at the beginning of spring next year."
That being the case" Cao Cao paused for a moment, and then said with murderous anger in his eyes: "Then let Gongsun Bai Xiao'er have no return, and let the suburbs of Puyang become the burial place of the Gongsun family, even if you lose the entire Yanzhou, you will not hesitate."
The generals responded with a bang: "The lord is wise" Only Cheng Yu was puzzled: "Gongsun Bai dares to go to the appointment lightly, there must be a perfect strategy, if you want to put it to death, how easy is it to wait for the soldiers and horses to be transferred, how can we hide the eyeline under Gongsun Bai's command If the soldiers and horses are transferred too frequently, how can it not increase the vigilance Even if the soldiers and horses are secretly mobilized, and hide from Gongsun Bai, but if too many troops are hoarded in Puyang, the defense in other places will become weak, how to block the southward offensive of the soldiers and horses in the north, what the officials are worried about is that once Gongsun Bai is not killed, he will lose the entire Yanzhou, Then the lord will be in an extremely disadvantageous situation. ” Cao Cao stood up, drew his sword, raised the sword that was as sharp as clay, cut off a corner of the case viciously, and said in a deep voice: "Now our army has fallen into an extremely disadvantageous place, and we can only put it to death and survive.
Success is once and for all, and from then on, there is no one in the world who can match Cao, and defeat will become more and more unfavorable.
This time, the country fought hard" He slowly raised his head, with a strong battle intent in his eyes, and shouted: "As long as we act carefully and don't let Gongsun Bai find out the flaws, he will definitely only bring five thousand white horses to the appointment at most."
At that time, even if there are 5,000 tigers coming, they will leave Gongsun Bai's head in Puyang."
When the people saw that the Lord had decided to do so, no one objected, and they all responded.

"Pass on the order of the national duke, order Xuan Gao Zangba to contact his old Taishan thief department, break it into pieces, pretend to be a grass robber, loot all the way, and after approaching the vicinity of Dongshan, he must not enter again, and stand by in place."
"Whoa" "Spread the official order of the country, so that the Miaocai Xiahou Yuan selected 20,000 soldiers and horses, divided into 50 batches, pretended to be a business traveler, and entered a small city thirty miles southeast of Puyang City in Xiancheng in batches, and at the same time recruited soldiers from Qingzhou, and replenished the deficit soldiers and horses in batches to avoid Gongsun Bai's suspicion."
"Whoa" "Order all the soldiers and horses in the south of Yanzhou, select a total of 30,000 soldiers and horses, and enter Puyang in batches under the guise of business travelers, without revealing flaws, and supplementing them with new soldiers, without mistakes."
"Whoa" In the big tent, Cao Cao issued several secret orders one after another, and then turned to Man Chong and Liu Ye and said: "Boning and Ziyang, you and the other two, go to Puyang on the same day to discuss with Zang Ba the arrangement of the alliance."
Speaking of the back, his voice was lowered, and after a careful instruction, the two of them had to be ordered to leave.
In the end, only Cheng Yu and Jia Xu were left, Cao Cao's expression became solemn, and he asked in a low voice: "This matter can be done?"
Jia Xu smiled faintly: "If it's just like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape the eyes of the Gongsun family, if you want to completely hide from Gongsun Bai, I'm afraid there is only one ear."
Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Wenhe's plan, could it have been done?"
Jia Xu smiled: "There is already eighty percent hope." ” Cao Cao was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Wenhe really didn't disappoint his father-in-law, this time Gongsun Xiao'er is dead" to be continued
