Yuan Shang was facing an isolated and helpless situation for Yuan Tan and Liu Bei to attack from the east and west, so he wanted to use Yan Liang's help to attack Yuan Tan's flank and rear in order to contain Yuan Tan's offensive against Hebei.
As soon as these words came out, Xu Shufang began to understand and understood the meaning of his lord's previous words. He couldn't help but look at Yan Liang again, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"I didn't expect that Third Young Master Yuan would want to use me, an outsider, to deal with his brother. It seems that the family tradition of the Fourth Third Young Master of the Yuan family has indeed been inherited by Third Young Master Yuan."
Yan Liang pretended to be strange, and his words were even more sarcastic.
The family tradition of the Yuan family he was referring to was naturally a matter of dispute between brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. Now that brothers Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan have made the same mistake again, the Yuan family is known as a high-class family, and the so-called noble and upright family tradition is nothing more than mediocre.
Feng Ji couldn't hear Yan Liang's sarcasm. He felt embarrassed again for a moment, and cold sweat broke out from his forehead.
"The King of Wei is for the country, the country, and the people of the world. Naturally, he will not avoid relatives and strangers. Although General Yan You has a foreign surname, he understands the righteousness. The King of Wei joins forces with General You to deal with Yuan Tan, an unfaithful and unfilial person.
Rebellion is a righteous act of exterminating relatives, which is the essence of the Yuan family's family tradition."
Hearing these words, Xu Shu next to him almost couldn't help himself.
Even Yan Liang almost laughed out loud, secretly sighing that Feng Ji was so eloquent that he could use this family scandal to praise Yuan Shang as a leading hero in the world.
Birds of a feather flock together and people fall into groups. The Yuan family all have that kind of virtue. It's no wonder that all of their subordinates are flattering and shameless people like Feng Ji.
With sarcasm in his heart, Yan Liang said: "I didn't expect Mr. Yuan San to be such a wise hero. I really didn't realize it before, but your master Ziying is not wise. It doesn't matter to me.
I just want to ask, what good will it do if I teach Yuan Tan a lesson?"
For a character like Feng Ji, Yan Liang didn't have time to play showmanship with him, so he just put the business on the table.
Fengji was a scholar after all. Even though he knew that he was here to discuss business, he still wanted to make the deal more "elegant" so as not to lose his identity.
Fengji didn't expect that Yan Liang was so "vulgar" and that his philistine remarks about "benefits" would be put on the table right away.
In embarrassment, Fengji could only cough a few times and force a bold smile.
"General Yan You is indeed a generous man, so let me tell you frankly. As long as General You is willing to send troops to attack Xudu. After this is done, my King Wei will cede the two states of Yu and Si to the general as reward."
Feng Ji also acted generously and laid out Yuan Shang's conditions.
Yu, the division of two states, is such a big statement. These two states are the hinterland of the Central Plains. Yuan Shang's cutting is equivalent to giving him half of the Central Plains.
When Yan Liang heard this promise, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The two states of Henan and Si are now in the hands of Yuan Tan. Yan Liangruo raised his troops to attack Yuan Tan, and the land and cities he captured were exactly the two states of Henan and Si that bordered his territory.
This means that the territory that Yan Liang sent troops and food to conquer ended up being a thank you gift from Yuan Shang.
Yuan Shang had a very good idea, and he actually played the trick of a white wolf with empty gloves.
Snapped!
Yan Liang slammed the case and shouted angrily: "Fengji, you are so brave, you dare to tease me. Come on, drag this guy out, cut him into pieces, and cut him into pieces."
After giving the order, Zhou Cang waved his hand fiercely, and the pro-army warriors on the left and right swarmed forward.
Feng Ji didn't want Yan Liang to fall out with him anytime he wanted to, and this fall out would actually cost him his life.
In shock, Feng Ji said anxiously: "General Yan, calm down, calm down. Even if Feng is very brave, he would not dare to tease me. General, calm down."
Diplomacy emphasizes making friends at a distance and attacking at close range. Yuan Shang has no direct conflict of interest with him, and there is no need for Yan Liang to fall out with him.
That whole thing was just cut into pieces by Yan Liang to scare Feng Ji in order to increase his negotiating power.
Xu Shu next to him didn't know that Yan Liang was deliberately acting, or that he really wanted to kill Feng Ji, so he couldn't help but be shocked.
"My lord, Feng Yuantu is an envoy after all. Please calm down my lord and spare his life." Xu Shu hurriedly advised.
Yan Liang had long expected that Xu Shu would say something to dissuade him, so he calmed down his murderous intent and waved his hands, signaling to the left and right to move slowly.
After receiving the order, the pro-soldiers threw down the erected Fengji.
Fengji landed on his butt and was so embarrassed that he quickly climbed up from the ground shivering. His previous elegant behavior was gone, and all that was left was fear.
Yan Liang glanced at Xu Shu and asked him to continue performing.
Xu Shu understood and sighed: "I'm talking about Feng Yuan Tu. I'm not talking about you. Mr. Yuan wants to befriend my lord and ask him to send troops to deal with Yuan Tan, but he doesn't even have the slightest sincerity.
How can I not make my lord angry?"
"Sincerity? Didn't my King Wei agree to general Yu and Si two states..."
Fengji recovered from his fright, pretended to be aggrieved and confused, and tried to defend himself.
But Xu Shu waved his hand and said: "If my lord sends troops to attack Yuan Tan, the two states of Yu and Si are bound to be captured. By then we will have killed and wounded soldiers and lost money and food to capture the two states, but they will become a thank you gift to your third son Yuan."
, Fengyuan Tu, is this your sincerity to my lord?"
When the plot was discovered, Feng Ji's face suddenly turned red, he was embarrassed, and he didn't know how to respond.
At this time, Yan Liang waved his hand and said coldly: "Since Yuan Shang is not sincere, there is no need to discuss this deal again. I am thinking of my old friendship with my fellow countrymen. I want to spare you death, so get out."
With the words "Get out of here", he was mercilessly ordered to be kicked out.
Fengji immediately became anxious and said with a smile: "General Yan You, please calm down. In fact, my lord said that the two states of Yu and Si will be ceded to the general. This is just one of the gifts of thanks. As for other conditions, we need to discuss them again."
Yan Liang secretly smiled, thinking that Yuan Shang must be in a difficult situation. Otherwise, Fengji wouldn't be so shameless. He even shouted "Go away", but he could still have the audacity to stay.
In a blink of an eye, Yan Liang already had an idea.
He was deep in thought, thinking about it for a long time, and suddenly sighed helplessly.
"Speaking of it, Third Young Master Yuan is half of my fellow countryman, and Yuan Tan has an old grudge against me. Now that Third Young Master Yuan is in trouble, I seem to have no choice but to sit back and watch."
Yan Liang changed the topic and showed his intention to relent.
Feng Ji was overjoyed when he heard this. He said hurriedly: "General Yan You is really a brave man, but I don't know what the general's conditions are, as long as they are within the acceptable range of my lord. Ji expected that my lord would never begrudge making a good friend of the general."
Fengji didn't say anything absolutely, but added an "acceptable range" to avoid Yan Liang's lion opening his mouth.
Yan Liang was then satisfied, thought for a moment, and said, "I heard that Mr. Yuan San has a sister-in-law named Zhen Mi who is still living in Yecheng. I wonder if this is the case?"
Zhen Mi is the wife of Yuan Xi, the second brother of Yuan Shang. Although Yuan Xi controls Youzhou, his wife and young children stay in Yecheng, which can be regarded as a hostage in disguise.
Not only Feng Ji, but also Xu Shu was stunned, wondering why the person who was negotiating the conditions for sending troops suddenly got involved with Zhen Mi.
"Well...Mrs. Zhen is indeed in Yecheng. But I wonder what the general's conditions are?" Feng Jihuai asked curiously.
Yan Liang smiled, waved his hand and said: "My conditions are very simple. In addition to ceding the two states of Yu and Si. As long as Mr. Yuan San can send his sister-in-law to Jingzhou, I will send troops to attack Yuan Tan."
"
Upon hearing this, Fengji's expression immediately changed.
Although Yuan Xi is not Yuan Shang's brother from the same mother, they have the same father, and as Zhen is Yuan Xi's wife, Yuan Shang must show respect and courtesy to Zhen. Even if Yuan Xi opposes Yuan Shang, Yuan Shang must
Do this.
But now, Yan Liang openly proposed that Yuan Shang give his sister-in-law away. Such a request was a blatant humiliation to the Yuan family and to Yuan Shang, the dignified King of Wei.
Xu Shu, who was next to him, was also surprised. He didn't expect that his lord would actually make this request, and for such a big event as sending troops, he would exchange a woman for it. He really seemed to be seduced by beauty.
However, Xu Shu then thought about it, his lord had always acted in a measured manner, how could he be the kind of person who used his beauty to do things.
At that moment, Xu Shu temporarily suppressed his suspicion and just patiently watched his lord's performance.
Seeing the embarrassment on Feng Ji's face, Yan Liang said calmly: "Don't misunderstand me, Yuan Tu. When I was in Hebei, I admired Mrs. Zhen's talent very much. Now I invite her to Jingzhou just to talk about poetry and Fu."
It’s just something elegant.”
"Only ghosts can believe that talking about poetry and writing..."
Fengji is not an idiot, so he naturally knows what Yan Liangbao is hiding.
Seeing Feng Ji hesitate and remain silent, Yan Liang's face darkened, and he said coldly: "I have put forward the general's conditions, and I don't think you can make the decision. Just go back to Hebei and tell Yuan Shang, and let him weigh the pros and cons. Answer
If you don’t agree, you’ll have to figure it out yourself.”
After saying this, Yan Liang waved his hand to see the guest off.
Feng Ji had no choice but to say: "Then I will go back to Hebei, report this matter to the King of Wei, and give the general a reply as soon as possible."
After saying this, Feng Ji, who was choking and full of gray nose, had no intention of staying any longer and left in a hurry.
As soon as Feng Ji left, Xu Shu cupped his back and said, "My lord, please forgive me for being blunt. Isn't it true that my lord agreed to send troops to Yuan Shang just because of that Zhen family?"
"This general is in chaos in the Central Plains. I must send troops to get a share of the pie. Yuan Zhi, think about it. If I attack Yuan Tan, who will be the biggest beneficiary?"
Yan Liang did not answer Xu Shu's question, but asked a question.
Xu Shu was startled for a moment and said: "When our army sends troops to the north, Yuan Tan will inevitably divide his troops to return for reinforcements. In this way, the threat to Yuan Shang will be reduced sharply, and the biggest beneficiary will naturally be Yuan Shang."
Yan Liang nodded, "I don't want to see Yuan Shang become the boss, so I put forward this condition so that this kid Yuan Shang cannot take any advantage."
Xu Shu was at a loss for a moment, then suddenly realized.
"If Yuan Shang gives the Zhen family to his lord, his brother Yuan Xi will definitely be angry, and he will definitely retaliate with Youzhou's army going south. So although the threat from the south of Yuan Shang has been reduced, a new enemy has been added to the north, and he will still be trapped.
The dilemma of internal fighting, my lord, I wonder if this is true or not?"
Xu Shu asked excitedly.
Yan Liang smiled and nodded, acquiescing to Xu Shu's speculation.
"My lord, this plan kills two birds with one stone, it is really wonderful." Xu Shu could not suppress the look of admiration on his face.
Yan Liang secretly smiled and sighed, Xu Yuanzhi, Xu Yuanzhi, you only guessed half of it right... Piaotian Literary registered members recommend this work
