During his lifetime, Gongsun Zan loved his two daughters and provided wealth for his eldest daughter Ajin and youngest daughter Ayan respectively.
Guzhu Manor was built under the orders of Gongsun Zan himself, and he spent a lot of money and effort to build it. It is located in the ancient Guzhu Kingdom.
The pavilions are surrounded by pavilions, and the mausoleum spans the waterway, with mountains on its back and rivers on its back, and on the bank of the wet water. This is the dowry prepared by Gongsun Zan for his beloved youngest daughter Gongsun Yan.
If it is an insignificant place, it is not impossible to give up a manor in exchange for peace. But Guzhu Manor is the heart of General Gongsun's beloved daughter, how can he give it up casually?
What Tian Kai was thinking in his mind showed a bit of worry on his face.
"General Gongsun once said before his death that the Lone Bamboo Manor was a dowry that my general planned to give to his beloved daughter Ayan. It was rare for Lady Xuan to go there, so I must tell the young lady truthfully and tell her to invite Lady Xuan to the manor to relax in the future.
Their aunts and nieces should be very close to each other."
Tian Kai's words made Zuo Ping stiffen again. He didn't know that there was such a thing. It turned out that what Lady Xuan was interested in was the dowry given to her niece by her late brother.
Zuo Ping suddenly felt a headache. Madam Xuan was the old daughter of the head of the family. She was always very pampered and would never let go of the things she liked no matter what. He wanted to hint to Gongsun Yan and his brother that they would give up their wealth and sell it, but he didn't expect this.
Zuo Ping glanced at Tian Kai, who looked concerned, and thought that he should tell the head of the family about the matter and ask him to mediate.
In order to prevent the two young ladies from confronting each other and getting into trouble, they still responded with a smile on their faces: "Yes, we are a family after all. We will definitely be closer in the future."
Tian Kai chuckled, stopped mentioning this topic, and continued to inquire about Gongsun Zan's inheritance.
The military merits shared previously with Zuo Yuan were of some use, at least they opened Zuo Ping's mouth.
After learning from Zuo Ping's mouth how the Gongsun family dealt with Gongsun Zan's inheritance, Tian Kai didn't find it strange, but he felt a little disdainful and looked ugly.
At this moment, Zhao Yun returned to the hall under the leadership of the maid.
Although his face was still red and smelled of alcohol, his eyes were much clearer, but his forehead and hairline were soaked, and there were some water stains on his front. I don't know how he sobered up.
Tian Kai sighed in his heart, it is good to be young, and he dares to toss like this in such a cold weather. He reminded him: "Zilong will have a headache tomorrow if he sobers up like this."
Zhao Yun only gave him a wry smile. He didn't want to be pushed into the water tank.
Seeing that Gongsunda wanted to continue, Zhao Yun repeatedly begged for mercy, saying that there were still serious matters to discuss.
Seeing that Zhao Yun really didn't want to drink anymore and had resorted to such methods to sober up, Gongsunda also stopped trying to play tricks and got down to business.
He led Zhao Yun and others into the discussion study room in the back hall.
As soon as they entered the study room, Zhao Yun and Tian Kai saw a white cloth as tall as one person standing next to the desk, with some simple topographic patterns drawn on it.
Gongsun Da laughed and said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, come and see, this is the Yangqiuli battle that was replayed yesterday. Is it right for you to come and see?"
Among the four people present, except for Zhao Yun, who is slightly younger, the others are all veterans of the military and are very interested in the war.
They all gathered in front of the silk painting.
Seeing that they were about to go astray, Zhao Yun quickly clasped his fists and saluted, bringing the conversation back to their original topic.
"Everyone, let's discuss business first!"
Gongsunda looked away from the silk painting without finishing his thoughts; "Okay!"
Several people sat at separate tables again, and several servants rushed in. One by one, they set up charcoal stoves around everyone and served hot tea.
Wait until the servant goes out and gently close the door.
Tian Kai was the first to break the silence: "This time, 877 people will be beheaded and 70 will be captured. I wonder how you plan to arrange it?"
Hearing this, Gongsunda and Zuo Ping looked at each other. They knew from beginning to end that it would be quite embarrassing for them to open their mouths and ask for credit.
Seeing this, Zhao Yun avoided the banquet and said politely: "If there were not two commanders who suspected the enemy in the forest and drove them away with arrows, they would not be able to win. Just record the battle achievements as previously agreed."
The agreement Zhao Yun mentioned was the agreement made when he went to Yangqiuli to persuade Wang Yan Zuoyuan to capture the battlefield. At that time, there was no agreement on the merits of the leader, but Zhao Yun mentioned it now and attributed all the battle achievements to the agreement.
within.
Zhao Yun, who was most qualified to say this, handed over the steps. Both Gongsunda and Zuo Ping's expressions softened and they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter how shameless you are, you will be embarrassed to take credit for the sacrifice of others' lives. However, this military achievement is very important to Gongsun Da, who is in an awkward position at this time, and Zuo Ping, who is getting older and is worried about the Gongsun family changing.
Gongsun Da could use this military exploits to suppress the floating hearts of Xiangguan. He himself was just a sideline concubine. It was entirely because of his embarrassing status as a concubine and his own martial prowess that he was valued and promoted by Gongsun Zan.
But in the end, there was no real foundation. He came to Xiangguan alone to take up the post. Even though he had the support of his subordinates, none of the close clerical staff turned out to be close confidants. Gongsunda had been running the business for many years and had to work hard to win over him before he saw some results.
Now that Gongsun Zan has been defeated, his efforts in the past to win over are crumbling, and the personal thoughts of his subordinates have changed and are connected with each other. He really needs a share of credit to tide over the difficulties and suppress the restlessness.
Although Zuo Ping is an old general of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Jing is getting older. He is not a close confidant of the next head of the family, Gongsun Jing. His son died young and his grandson is still young. I am afraid that when Gongsun Jing retires, the Zuo family will no longer have a son.
its current position in the series.
So Zuo Ping also needs to win this share of credit for his grandson.
When Tian Kai heard that Zhao Yun was willing to give up his credit, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Zhao Yun looked back at him as if he was feeling something, and nodded to him imperceptibly.
After he sobered up just now, he briefly met with Gongsun Yan and received a clear instruction from Gongsun Yan to give up all the captured clothes and armors and only want war horses and people.
When Zhao Yun came, he thought about it and decided to add another layer - military exploits.
He didn't mind giving up the credit. For him, these false claims did not help him in any real way. If he could get what Gongsun Yan needed in exchange for it, that wouldn't be a bad idea.
However, the more kind Zhao Yun was, the more ashamed Gongsunda and Zuo Ping became, and how dare they really take advantage of them all.
Several people discussed changing the battle report to: Gongsunda and Zuo Ping sent people to assist in the rescue, Wang Yan and Zuo Yuan assisted in the night attack, Zhang Ze led his team to set up camp, and finally Wang Yan and Zuo Yuan assisted Zhao Yunchangpo to completely defeat the enemy.
In this way, the heads of more than 800 Wuhuan people dragged back by the camp's baggage trucks were divided up in this small study like beans, recorded in the merit book, and were only to be pickled in chalk ash and sent to the order.
Go to the governor's house and record it in the record after inspection.
When discussing the seizure, Zhao Yun surprised the three of them.
Are you willing to trade armor and weapons for wealth and refugees?
As a minister, if Zhao Yun did not want to stay in Gongsun's family, he might indeed give up the armor and weapons that were cumbersome and could not be taken away.
But he wants to leave and go to others, not wanting food but wealth?
If he doesn't want his generals to leave alone with their belongings, what's the point of exchanging them for refugees?
Tian Kai didn't see through Zhao Yun's path. If it weren't for the look in his eyes before, he couldn't help but want to ask questions.
Gongsunda picked up the tea soup, took a sip, and asked a few questions, but Zhao Yun remained silent like a gourd.
In the end, Gongsun Datao was speechless and reluctant to part with the armor, the most important weapon in these troubled times. He gritted his teeth and exchanged two long swords for one person, and exchanged many slaves, maids, and auxiliary soldiers in the army.
Zuo Ping is just a general, but he doesn't have much desire for armor and long swords, so he has no interest in this transaction.
Only when Zhao Yun mentioned that the maids named A Qing and Alan in Gongsunda's family, Gongsun Yan used them quite smoothly, and hoped to exchange them with their families, did Zuo Ping's eyes flash with clarity.
He looked up and down Zhao Yun's body with his eyes, and thought that's what he thought.
In this way, Zhao Yun's reason that he doesn't want food, ammunition or weapons, but just goods and slaves and refugees makes sense.
