Zhang Liao stopped talking, Bao Zheng coughed lightly and continued to ask, "Since your envoy is here for friendship, what sincerity does he have?"

"My lord is willing to make an alliance with your army. From then on, we will work together to deal with the Hulu in the north and keep Youzhou safe."

Bao Zheng sneered and said, "Alliance? If it's just these things, please come back."

Hu Bo was also surprised when he heard this.

On the way here, although Gongsun Gong had explained the situation to him, he even knew the bottom line conditions that Liaodong was willing to offer.

But now Cao Jun's attitude surprised him.

In terms of military strength, the two countries are close to six to one; in terms of national strength, Liaodong is far superior to the three Hans; And talk about it.

Even so, these guys in front of them didn't choose to back down, but were aggressive, wanting to gain greater benefits. Did they already know the reason of the matter?

Hu Bo's momentum suddenly softened, and he said with a smile: "My lord came here with sincerity, doesn't your army think it's a bit too much?"

"We don't think it's too much. If it weren't for the heavy snow that saved you, we might have entered Xiangping by now. Even though you have the upper hand now, our Cao army is full of famous men. We know that we are invincible, and we are willing to fight with you Fight to the death."

What Li Jun said made Hu Bo lack confidence.

"Okay, I won't go around in circles, and it's easy to negotiate peace. As long as the prefect Gongsun is willing to retreat and hand over Le Lang to us."

Hu Bo frowned slightly, and the fat on his face was also huddled together, looking extraordinarily sad.

Bao Zheng and the others did not remember waiting for his reply.

On the surface, the peace talks are on the negotiating table, but in fact they are a contest between the national strengths and situations of the two countries.

Gongsun Du has now occupied more than a dozen states and counties north of Lelang. If he is willing to spit them all out, there must be a bigger trouble that makes him have to make concessions.

What Bao Zheng cares about is not Le Lang's ownership, but what kind of trouble Gongsun Du is entangled in.

"Then, what about the land of Fan Khan?"

"The land of Fan Khan is owned by both parties. If we want to increase the land, Fan Khan can be handed over to your army."

Hu Bo frowned slightly. Before leaving, this was also the bottom line that Gongsun Gong told him.

The land increase can be given to Cao Jun, but Fan Khan must be in their hands.

"Is there no room for negotiation, my lord?"

Bao Zheng kept silent, taking silence as the best answer.

Hu Bo sighed and said: "Let me ask the prefect first about this matter, and then draw a conclusion."

Bao Zheng didn't stop him, but asked his soldiers to send Hu Bo out of the camp.

After the other party left, the three of Zhang Liao all had smiles on their faces.

"This Gongsun Du is too generous. Not only did he give us all of Le Lang, but he is also willing to give us the land. As long as we have this place and look down, no matter how many Gongsun Du's army is, we can still block them. outside the door."

Zhang Liao glanced at Bao Zheng and saw that the latter was silent, so he asked, "What is your lord thinking?"

"I wondered what the hell made them willing to make such a big sacrifice."

Zhang Liao also nodded slightly.

"It's not easy to know. When I go to investigate it myself, I will find out soon." Li Jun volunteered, patted his chest.

Chapter 385 Kill and Release

Yuan Shao's last trace of confidence completely collapsed in the Grand Sima's Mansion in Yecheng.

I thought that Yuan Tan Gaogan guarding Qingzhou, even if he lost to Cao Anmin, it would not be a problem if he persisted for half a year.

But who would have thought that in just one month, Qingzhou's defense line completely collapsed, not to mention all six counties, and even Yuan Tan was captured alive by Cao Anmin.

Fiasco, really a big defeat.

Bingzhou was lost first, and then Qingzhou was lost.Yuan Shao's strength has been greatly reduced, and his control over Hebei is not as good as before. Many dependent families are also beginning to move around.

"What the hell is going on? That's an army of [-]. Even if it's [-] pigs, it's impossible to kill them so quickly."

Seeing the trembling high-ranking officials kneeling in front of him, Yuan Shao's heart was burning with anger, wishing he could rush forward and strangle this bastard to death.

Gao Gan said with snot and tears: "Blame me, blame me for everything. I didn't help my cousin. Blame me, blame me for everything. Please"

"Stand up and talk, how can a man from my Yuan clan cry like a woman."

Gao Gan wiped away the tears from his face, and then told Yuan Shao the whole thing in detail.

After hearing this, Yuan Shao's face was gloomy and he was speechless for a long time.

"From this point of view, Qingzhou's defeat was caused by underestimating the enemy?"

"We can't blame Xiansi, after all, who would have thought that Cao Anmin would have such supernatural powers, he borrowed the sun to thaw the river, and then poured the river water into the trench when we were not prepared. Because of this, the morale of the soldiers was greatly damaged, which allowed Cao Anmin to win. Otherwise, relying on the geographical advantage, it is not clear who will win the battle."

Yuan Shao looked directly at Gao Gan for a long time, and saw that there was no look of dodge in the other party's eyes, so he believed the other party's words.

"Forget it, forget it, everything is already like this, it's useless to worry about it. This time it's thanks to you. If you didn't fight Cao Anmin so hard, I'm afraid all the [-] troops would have to fall in Qingzhou."

Gao Gan quickly pretended to be terrified and said: "My nephew is a general under the command of the public, and it is my duty to be loyal to the country."

Yuan Shao waved his hand, indicating that Gao Gan should go out to rest first.

Halfway through the walk, I happened to meet Chen Yuanyuan who came with soup and medicine.

"I haven't thanked my aunt for saving my life."

Chen Yuanyuan smiled lightly and said, "When did I ever save my life? The general took care of everything. It's nothing to be thankful for. It's getting late, and it's better to go back home earlier."

When he left from the length, Gao Gan had already had a heart for Cao.But it was an anonymous letter that made him completely change his mind.

No matter how angry Yuan Shao is, he does not eat like a tiger. Although the general is gone, he can survive. Cao Cao is a hero who has been heard all over the world. Even if he does not kill the general at this moment, as long as Yuan Shao is defeated and all Hebei is under his control, He will also kill the grass and roots in order to avoid future troubles forever.

Therefore, Yecheng should be safer than Xuchang.

The whole letter is not long, but it reveals the real situation of senior officials.If it weren't for the inscribed Chen Zi at the end, I am afraid that it would be difficult for senior officials to know who wrote the letter in this life.

As Yuan Shao's wife and concubine, Chen Yuanyuan's situation is indeed very difficult.In particular, since entering the mansion, her stomach has not responded at all.

Having no heirs is a good thing and a bad thing.It can be seen that Yuan Shao's body is getting worse day by day. If he passes away, Chen Yuanyuan will have nothing to rely on. In such troubled times, the more beautiful she is, the more dangerous she is.

Therefore, Chen Yuanyuan put all his eggs in one basket and found a new backer for himself, thinking of a way out.

In terms of status, Gao Gan belongs to the clan, Yuan Shao's nephew, and has a distinguished status.In terms of age, he is in his prime, with a strong back, enough to satisfy himself.In terms of power, he has an army of tens of thousands in his hands, even if he can't achieve a great cause, he can still seek a resting place in this troubled world.
