Chapter 516: Conditions
Jia Xu had already expected that Jizhou would have envoys coming, this is also an opportunity for Jizhou to get benefits from Jizhou, Jizhou at this time can be described as chaos, it will be Yuan Shao who is bent on peace, such a good opportunity Lu Bu will naturally not miss, for Zhuo County and Guangyang County in Youzhou, Lu Bu has been coveting it for a long time, as long as he can get these two counties in his hands, that is, he will completely drive the Jizhou army out of Youzhou.
"In the past, there are many offenses to humble positions, and I hope that the Marquis of Jin can forgive me." Xu You arched his hand and said, Lu Bu is a big Han hussar general, there is nothing wrong with him calling him a humble position, and doing so, it is easier to give people a good impression, Xu You is a smart person, he will not always show a proud appearance like Tian Feng.
After this battle, the Bingzhou army has shown super strength, and it will not be harmful to be friendly with the Marquis of Jin, which Xu Yu sees more clearly, even if the family in Jizhou has a resistance to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu looked at Xu You carefully, and it could be seen from his words that Xu You was a sleek person, completely different from the upright Tian Feng, this was the key person who made Yuan Shao lose in the hands of Cao Cao, and Xu You's status in Jizhou was not low.
The royal family is unfortunate, the people are in turmoil, Lu Bu wants to make everything in his hands stable, he needs to have strong enough strength, only in this way, can he save everything in the troubled times, only the strength in his hands is strong enough to sweep the world, in order to make the world return to peace, and the Han is not so prosperous and stable on the surface, the Xianbei people, Wuhuan people, Huns, these will become factors that threaten the Han Dynasty.
"It's just that each is his own master." Lu Budao.
"The Marquis of Jin is magnanimous and humble."
"What is the matter with the Marquis of Ye sending you here, just say it directly, the army is busy with affairs." Lu Budao.
"Marquis of Jin, the Marquis of Ye sent down to come down to sue for peace with the Bingzhou army, Zhang Yan of the Montenegrin Army is a remnant of the Yellow Turban, plundering Jizhou, and the Marquis of Jin is a Han courtier, so naturally he will not sit idly by and watch the Montenegrin Army behave like this." Xu You's attitude was very sincere, and he even directly used to ask for peace, if Tian Feng came to the same thing, he would definitely not easily say the word "ask".
Lu Bu said with a smile: "It turned out to be a request for peace, Ye Hou led his troops to attack Dangyin for no reason, so that 5,000 soldiers buried their bones in the Yin, and the people in the city suffered from unwarranted disasters. ”
Xu You also came prepared, on the way he had already thought carefully about the situation that might be encountered, and now he saw that the Bingzhou army really had the intention of retreating, and his heart was also a lot more stable, Yuan Shao had secretly told him that as long as the Bingzhou army was willing to retreat, within the tolerance of Jizhou, he could agree to come down.
"The Marquis of Jin, Yuzhou and Yanzhou suffered from locust plagues, and Jizhou also had tens of thousands of refugees pouring in. Xu You felt that it was better to fight on the basis of reason, after all, there was not his absolute confidant in the envoy team.
"Ben Hou also understands the truth, now there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Chaoge City, why don't Ben Hou lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to Jizhou to help Ye Hou pacify the Black Mountain Army?" Lu Bu said with a smile.
Xu You was shocked, it seems that the Bingzhou army is stationed in Chaoge, and he really has the intention of attacking Jizhou" Yehou once said, the Bingzhou army has been fighting for a long time, and it consumes a lot of grain and grass, although Jizhou does not have much grain and grass, it is also willing to send 100,000 stones of grain and grass. ”
"100,000 stones of grain and grass? It's not enough for the army in the city for a month, what is the use of this Hou, I have heard that Jizhou is rich, and the soldiers under the command of this Hou also want to go to Jizhou to see it. Lu Bu said coldly.
Seeing that the negotiations were developing in the direction of collapse, Xu You hurriedly said: "If the Marquis of Jin has any requirements, he will tell the Marquis of Ye." ”
"Okay, since this is the case, Ben Hou will make it clear, Li Su under Ben Hou is the pastor of Youzhou, but at this time Youzhou has two counties in the hands of Ye Hou, if Ye Hou is willing to cede the land of the two counties to Ben Hou, Ben Hou will naturally not interfere in the affairs of Jizhou." Lu Budao.
"The Land of Two Counties?" Xu You's face changed slightly, for Youzhou, the Jizhou army had been fighting for a long time, if he promised to cede the land of the two counties to the state, he would definitely be reprimanded after he returned.
"The vanguard of the state army has set off, Ben Hou will be drawn in three days, after Lord Xu goes back, think about it carefully."
"Marquis of Jin, can you see General Yan Liang in your humble position?" Xu You said, this is also another purpose for him to go to the Bingzhou Army, and what makes him feel anxious the most is that the vanguard army of the Bingzhou Army has been dispatched.
"Yes." Lu Bu agreed, Yan Liang is obviously Yuan Shao's die-hard loyalist, it is impossible to let Yan Liang take refuge in Bingzhou, leaving Yan Liang in Bingzhou will only consume the money and food of Bingzhou, not to mention that there are many people in the Bingzhou army who can rectify Yan Liang, and it is not impossible to return such a person to Jizhou, it depends on what price Yuan Shao is willing to pay.
Xu You thanked him and left.
"Wenhe, in your opinion, will Yuan Shao give up the land of the two counties?" Lu Bu asked with a smile.
Jia Xu said slowly: "The subordinates concluded that Yuan Shao would give in, otherwise the army of Jizhou would reach Jizhou, Yuan Shao would agree even if he didn't agree, as long as General Zhang Liao led the army into Wei County, Jizhou would definitely be shaken." ”
"Wen He's words are very true, if Yuan Shao does not agree, Ben Hou will fight until he agrees." Lu Blanc said.
Jia Xu also felt the heroism in Lu Bu's tone.
"My lord, Cao Ren, the general of the Yanzhou Army, is now leading his troops to attack Henan Yin, and he is ordered to remind General Zhao Yun to be on guard." Jia Xu said.
Lu Bu nodded and said, "Order Zhao Yun to beware of Cao Jun's sneak attack on Hedong." At this time, he also had to prevent the occurrence of other situations, although the territory under his command was much larger, the neighboring princes were also more, in the past, the state was only in contact with the Jizhou army, and now after the capture of Hedong, there is only the Yellow River separated from Hongnong, and Hedong is close to the traitors Guo Yan and Li Dao, and the situation has become more complicated.
After Xu You returned to his residence, he immediately sent a fast horse to Jizhou, as long as he didn't stop day and night, three days was enough for a round trip, such an important matter, he felt that it was better to ask Yuan Shao, even if Yuan Shao gave him great convenience when he came.
With Lu Bu's order, Xu You also saw Yan Liang as he wished, the former general of the Jizhou Army, now can only be described as miserable, his face is yellow, obviously imprisoned in the days of the Bingzhou Army, Yan Liang has suffered from hunger and hunger, maybe the food is still leftovers, and there are faint blood stains on his clothes, it must be that the imprisoned soldiers have vented their anger on Yan Liang's body.
