After a long time, Yang Yi came back from the sculpture state. He swallowed hard, showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and asked: "Haha, aren't General Taishi and General Wei playing a trick on me? Take a look at the two of you.
It is said that this battle was commanded by Xu You, and both Nanlou and Su Puyan participated..."
"That's right." Taishi Ci replied calmly.
"This doesn't make sense..." Yang Yi was at a loss for words. After getting a positive answer, he calmed down and his thoughts became much smoother. "Although Xu You's character is not very good, he has a good reputation in the Central Plains."
It is called a wise man. Nanlou and Su Puyan are not ordinary people, and they are also local snakes. How can they not know the geographical advantage and rush into it? "
Liu Yi blinked, wondering what Yang Yi meant by these dry words.
Yang Yi's words were obviously intended to question the authenticity of this matter. However, the reasons he gave were far from convincing, and even if he made fantastic claims, they could not change the facts.
Taishi Ci and Wei Yan couldn't possibly be lying. If they were escorting a grain ship, they might have used false threats to get away. But the Qingzhou fleet came from the east, and the ships didn't have deep drafts. Even if they couldn't win,
It's still possible to run away. It's not far from the coastline. You can abandon the ship and go ashore instead of telling lies with your eyes open.
Although soldiers are not afraid of deception, Taishi Ci and Wei Yan are both young generals with a very brave reputation in the Qingzhou Army. I am afraid that they will not regard their success in deceiving others as any glory. More importantly, what the two sides are doing now should be regarded as the first time.
In high-level meetings and negotiations, it is obviously not a good idea to make loud statements at this time.
Precisely because these are troubled times, those who keep their promises and keep their word are extremely precious. Apart from those puzzling measures, from Wang Yu down, Qingzhou’s impression on the outside world is basically positive. How can people like Tai Shi Ci
In order to escape, will you easily give others a handle and give up the truth?
That doesn't make sense.
But Liu Yi would not regard Yang Yi as a fool. Even if he was greatly stimulated, this old rival would not suddenly become an idiot. He must have a purpose in saying these words, but he just did not expect it at the moment.
Tai Shi Ci had the same idea as Liu Yi. He felt that Yang Yi was making trouble unreasonably. He had no intention of bickering with the other party, so he asked directly: "General Yang, what exactly do you want to say?"
"What I mean is..."
Yang Yi frowned, and said without blushing or heartbeat: "Your army claims to have won a decisive victory, but it is unfounded. You have to come up with some evidence, right? Just a few days ago, I didn't hear it.
Talking about the news of your army's victory, how could it be so coincidental that after two or three days, the two of you used a cunning plan to successfully annihilate Karasuma's main force? It's unreasonable, completely unreasonable."
He was arrogant and reckless, but other people were not as thick-skinned as him. The few soldiers accompanying him all lowered their heads to their chests, their faces were red, and they wanted to dig a hole to bury themselves. If they lost the battle, they would not lose to others.
It is really embarrassing for General Yang to act like this.
Liu Yi didn't come to a conclusion so quickly, but he lowered his head in deep thought and looked similar to the soldiers.
Seeing Yang Yi pretending to be unrepentant, all the generals in Qingzhou couldn't help but want to laugh, but Wei Yan kept an eye on it, wondering if Yang Yi was deliberately messing with things like this.
Huang this negotiation?
As soon as this idea came up, it made more sense the more I thought about it. As long as the other side burst into laughter, Yang Yi could use the opportunity to get angry and walk away, letting the negotiation end without any problem.
Although Gongsun Du did not show up, no one expected any substantive results from today's negotiations, but Wei Yan knew very well the principle of pursuing victory. General Yang and Liu Er were Gongsun Du's right-hand men, and they took advantage of the victory brought by this victory.
Shocked, it was a necessary measure to plant the impression of the Qingzhou Army's power in their minds and use it to influence Gongsun Du.
If you let Yang Yi go, you will have many long nights and dreams.
What Wei Yan is most worried about is that Gongsun Du gets in touch with Cao Cao or Sun Ce. If Gongsun Du has a complete concept of the situation in the Central Plains and knows the plans of the three families to divide the enemy, then he will be much more confident and can directly resist to the end.
Come, the lord has nothing to do with him.
Gongsun Du is only the governor of Liaodong in name, but he controls a huge territory. If it is necessary to retreat in a big step, he can even retreat all the way to Lelang County!
In this way, regardless of whether we attack Liaodong or not, hidden dangers will remain in Northern Xinjiang, which is far from the Lord's original intention.
"General Yang wants to see the evidence? No problem!" Wei Yan's thoughts turned quickly, and Wei Yan quickly grabbed Tai Shici, who was about to laugh and taunt him, stopped him from talking, and then asked in a consultative tone: "It's just that
I never expected to meet you two here, but I didn’t bring any evidence with me. If General Yang has nothing urgent, why not wait here? I’ll send someone to get it right away.”
"That's very good." Yang Yi didn't mess around this time. Although her face was still ugly, she nodded politely: "It's just that this matter must be reported to my lord before he can make a decision..."
Wei Yan rolled his eyes, nodded and said: "It turns out that General Gongsun has also arrived. General Yang's words make sense, so let's do it."
Yang Yi and Liu Yi said goodbye and left, but Taishi Ci had no intention of turning the ship back to the team. He just sent an order to Chen Han to have someone go ashore to deliver a message to Zhang Liao.
Two hundred ships of various types were divided into two sides, covering the sea surface. Taishi Ci's flagship was parked in the middle. Both sides returned to their original posture. The only difference was that the ships were anchored and stopped in place.
"Fali, what are your plans?" Liu Yi couldn't help but ask halfway. He was now sure that Yang Yi had other plans, otherwise Gongsun Du would still be in Xiangping, and Yang Yi wouldn't be open
What are the eyes telling lies?
Yang Yi's face no longer had the bachelor's spirit of being careless and unwilling to admit defeat, but was replaced by ruthlessness and determination: "The matter in Liaodong is no longer feasible. The only solution now is to seize as many chips as possible to preserve the foundation of Liaodong!
"
"Chips..." Liu Yi's heart trembled, and he said in a trembling voice: "Could it be that...you want to..."
"That's the only way!" Yang Yi gritted his teeth and nodded, confirming Liu Yi's guess: "Capture Tai Shici and Wei Yan, and then take advantage of the unprepared Qingzhou people to sweep them along the sea road. Capture as many people and ships as you can.
How much, then return to Liaokou, summon the party, arrange the carriage and horses, and negotiate with Qingzhou."
"This, this is unavoidable..." Liu Yi hesitated.
"A soldier never tires of deceit!" Yang Yi knew what his colleagues were thinking and also knew that the other party's cooperation was necessary in this matter, so it was rare that he didn't treat him coldly.
"No matter what, we have to get through this difficulty! The hard-won foundation of Liaodong will never come true, so the lord is forced to give up military power and be raised as a decoration by a high-ranking official and a generous salary? All criticisms will be borne by Yi Yiyi.
If Qingzhou insists on pursuing the case, why would Yi die in order to repay the Lord's kindness? Otherwise, do you have any other options?"
Liu Yi shook his head silently.
Now that the situation has come to an end, where is the chance to change one's fate against the odds? Yang Yi's trick is to survive in death. Although it is a bit risky, it cannot but be said to be a very subtle trick.
If he could really seize Qingzhou's hundreds of ships and thousands of soldiers and sailors, with Wang Yu's consistent style, I'm afraid he would really attack Liaodong. The so-called negotiation is not just about testing each other's bottom line and then making appropriate compromises.
The process of finally reaching consensus?
In this case, it is always right to seize as many bargaining chips as possible before negotiating to gain more room for concession.
Having made up his mind, Liu Yi said resolutely: "Yi is willing to advance and retreat together with Brother Fa Li!"
"Okay!" Yang Yi was overjoyed. She did not avoid the past and discussed the specific details with Liu Yi: "Qingzhou's ships sail very fast and are particularly good at taking advantage of the wind direction. Now the two sides are more than a thousand steps apart.
It's definitely not possible to charge at them, but we can't let them run away. If the news leaks out, we should be smart about it. I think I can do this..."
…
The wait was long and boring. Taishi Ci stood on the bow of the ship bored, looking around, and suddenly said: "Chang Wen, have you noticed? The ship in Liaodong seems to be moving."
"Really?" Wei Yan put up the awning with his hands and looked forward, backward, left and right. After observing for a long time, he didn't find anything unusual: "Is there any? Is it your imagination?"
Taishi Ci stamped his feet, looked at the ripples on the water, and shouted: "Anyway, I don't think your guess is very reliable. What kind of delaying strategy did they use? Even Xu Thief didn't know about the separation of the three families.
How could Cao Cao and Sun Ce be so bold to send this kind of confidential information to Liaodong, thousands of miles away?"
"Just in case." Wei Yan wasn't very sure, but other than that, he really couldn't figure out why Yang Yi was so messy. It couldn't be because he was afraid that he would detain them, right? That would be useful.
Is it possible that detaining two minions can make Gongsun Du change his mind? Let alone Yang Yi and Liu Yi, even if his son Gongsun Kang is captured, it may not have this effect, right?
"Otherwise, what else could they do? Could it be that, like you said, they came up quietly while we were not paying attention and took us hostage? I'm sorry you can imagine... But then again, Yang Yi's temper seems to be...
I do have a bit of a resemblance to you, maybe you two really want to get together."
"You don't understand, because you are just a layman!" Taishi Ci put on the posture of a professional and said matter-of-factly: "Our ships in Qingzhou are mainly used for navigation. They rely on sails and currents and are suitable for long-distance voyages.
.And those ships in Liaodong are only used offshore. Their sails and ship shapes are not as good as ours, but they have a lot of oars, and their short-range acceleration is much faster than ours..."
As he said that, he raised his hand and pointed: "Look, are we getting closer again? They must have put away half of the anchor and let the ship drift forward slowly. They will wait until the distance is almost..." Right there
At this time, his voice suddenly became sharp: "Look, it's really here!"
Wei Yan was startled. When he followed the sound, he saw the Liaodong fleet on the opposite side coming out with thousands of oars, stirring up thousands of bright waves on the calm sea. The ships turned from still to suddenly forward and pounced.
