Phoenix Mountain is located in the northwest of Linzi County.

Near Fenghuang Mountain, the mountains are undulating and jungle. This area was once the old nest for the thieves and bandits in Linzi County and even Qi State. After Wang Yan arrived in Linzi County, he suppressed the aristocratic families in Qi State and solved internal troubles. As soon as Zang Ba took office, he began to encircle and suppress the bandits in Linzi County. To this day, there are no bandits in Linzi County and even Qi State.

"Puff! Puff!"

Birds are flying, hovering over Phoenix Mountain.

Wang Yan led his army to a slightly open area. During the negotiations with Gao Lan, Wang Yan brought Shi A, Guan Hai, Xu You, and a hundred elite soldiers. The remaining soldiers were temporarily stationed in the rear and did not follow the negotiations.

"Report!"

A whistle detective ran and rushed over.

The detective looked urgent and reported: "Sir, Gao Lan has arrived."

Wang Yan nodded, and the whistle detective immediately retreated, quickly hiding in the woods, disappearing.

After a while, Gao Lan led his army to come.

During this negotiation with Wang Yan, Gao Lan only brought a hundred elite soldiers, as well as his adviser Wu Xin, the prefect of Pingyuan, the prime minister of Le'an, the prime minister of Jinan, and the prime minister of Bohai.

The rest of the troops were all stationed outside.

When Gao Lan saw Wang Yan, he smiled and said actively: "Governor Wang, it's been a long time since he saw him! After many years, Governor Wang is even better than the past, especially Governor Wang's son inherited his father's business and inherited Qingzhou, which is a good fortune."

Some words seem to be praise, but they contain irony.

The son inherited his father's business and secretly mocked Wang Yan for not taking the court seriously, ignoring the court's laws and taking over Qingzhou directly; he praised Wang Yan for his good fortune, but implicitly mocked Wang Yan for having Wang Yun as his father, and he won great benefits, and it was not something that Wang Yan himself fought for by his ability.

Wang Yan looked as normal, without any influence, and said slowly: "General Gao's mouth is the representative of your identity! As soon as he opened his mouth, it proves that you are a martial artist, not a literati. He served as the governor of Qingzhou and was recognized by the emperor. How could he say that his son inherited his father's business? After all, General Gao didn't study much and didn't understand, so he no longer blamed you."

"It's not wrong for people to be ignorant. In the future, listen, read, learn more."

"In life, there are certain numbers, so fortune has heaven. I have good fortune, which can only prove that I am favored by God and have great luck."

Wang Yan's tone became colder and said lightly: "As a general in Jizhou, General Gao saw Yuan Shao launching troops to invade Qingzhou, he not only did not stop him, but instead attacked the army with no way and unrighteousness and benevolent and righteous people. It would be contrary to the way of heaven. Facts have also proved that General Gao was in trouble as soon as he arrived in Linzi County, and Xu You was also arrested, which shows that the laws of heaven are clear and fair and free."

Gao Lan's face turned pale and secretly cursed Wang Yan for being shameless and sophist.

When the two armies were fighting normally, Wang Yan involved the matter of gods and monsters, which was ridiculous. When he was in Hulao Pass, Gao Lan heard that Wang Yan was good at eloquence and knew that arguing with Wang Yan was useless, so he went straight to the topic and said, "Governor Wang, I will be able to redeem Xu You in the future. I won't talk about the extra matters, just go straight to the topic."

"sit!"

Wang Yan waved his hand and both sides sat down at the seat that had been arranged long ago.

Wang Yan didn't go around the corner and said straight to the point: "General Gao said he came with sincerity, so what is sincerity?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Wang Yan poked the vital points.

Gao Lan smiled softly and said, "In order to redeem Xu You, as long as Gao Lan can complete it, I will never refuse. So, please give the conditions."

Wang Yan's eyes became sharp, but he did not put forward the conditions. Instead, he asked: "General Gao led his troops to the city this time, and now he personally brought people to negotiate. Have the prefect of Pingyuan, Le'anguo and others all arrived?"

Gao Lan was puzzled and nodded and said, "All four of them are here, behind me!" Immediately, he waved his hand at the prefect of Pingyuan, the prime minister of Jinan, the prime minister of Le'an, and the prime minister of Bohai, and introduced them one by one.

Wang Yan looked at the four people, his eyes passed by calmly, and he chuckled: "I'm very curious, what Yuan Shao promised you, but he actually made you betray Qingzhou? During his father's administration in Qingzhou, he was relaxed and did not blame him. Why did the four rebel?"

Gao Lan frowned. He didn't want to see the four of them in a dilemma. He took the initiative to resolve the embarrassment and asked, "Governor Wang, is this also a condition?"

Wang Yan focused his head and said seriously: "Nature is one of the conditions!"

After hearing this, Gao Lan's expression became depressed.

He looked at the four people including the prefect of Pingyuan, nodded, and signaled to answer the four people.

Wang Yan had a strong smile on his face and said, "Four people, one by one, this is the condition for redeeming Xu You."

The face of the prefect of Pingyuan said slowly: "During the time when Wang Yun was in charge of Qingzhou, all counties and countries were in chaos, and the governance of the subordinates was ineffective, and there was no political achievement. Not only that, Wang Yun also regarded Qingzhou as his family, so it would be better to not want such Qingzhou!

"Okay, OK, well said!"

Wang Yan laughed in anger with a murderous intent in his eyes.

The prefect of Pingyuan was stared at by Wang Yan, and his heart felt relieved. However, he had already betrayed Qingzhou and Wang Yun and his son, and had no choice but to continue to wade.

Wang Yan's eyes turned and asked again: "Where are the other three?"

The prime minister of Jinan was righteous and said with a sensation: "Today, only the heroes of Yuanzhou are the only ones. I surrendered to Yuanzhou's governor and follow the heavens and responded to the people."

Wang Yan commented: "What a great reason!"

Le'an Prime Minister said in a deep voice: "As soon as Wang Yun took office, he started killing and killed countless children of aristocratic families. These children of aristocratic families are the mainstay of Qingzhou. Wang Yun cut off his own arms and was even more tyrannical and unjust. What's wrong with rebellion?"

Bohai Kingdom continued: "The current situation is chaotic, and Qingzhou is a place for four battles. In such an environment, Qingzhou needs heroic leaders. Wang Yun is not self-reliant, and only Jizhou's governor Yuan Shao can bear the great responsibility. It is natural for this official to follow Yuanzhou's governor."

The four people spoke, but none of them mentioned the conditions offered by Yuan Shao. It was not that Yuan Shao was wise and powerful, but that he denied Wang Yun's policy.

Wang Yan sneered: "You dead are worthy of being Mu Shou's side, shameless and unscrupulous. You are the ones who do great things. I highly appreciate your choice."

The four of them looked vaguely, and they didn't answer Wang Yan's words.

When facing Wang Yan, they always feel guilty.

Gao Lan took the initiative to take the conversation and said in a deep voice: "Governor Wang, the four of them have already told their own reasons. Now, we can talk about the conditions for releasing Xu You."

Wang Yan chuckled twice and said, "My conditions are very simple. I will hand over the four people including Pingyuan Prefect and Bohai Kingdom to me for treatment. Then, I will release Xu You."

The prefect of Pingyuan was startled and quickly stopped him and said, "General Gao, never, this is Wang Yan's conspiracy. He did this on purpose. Even if you hand over us, Wang Yan will not release Mr. Xu."

The Minister of Jinan agreed: "General Gao must not obey Wang Yan's words, he has ulterior motives."

The other two people spoke out.

There was a hint of panic and worry in the eyes of the four people. No one expected that Wang Yan would put forward such conditions, which made the four people extremely worried.
