    "For the sake of the people of Jizhou, please let us meet the Marquis of Dongyang." Yuan Shang gritted his teeth and said, he specially emphasized the word "common people".

    This is the ultimate trump card. Yuan Shang does not want to break his face unless it is absolutely necessary.

    Of course, Zhuge Liang heard the implication of Yuan Shang's words and mocked: "Threatening my lord with the people under his rule? If this matter spreads, it will not be very friendly to Yuan Benchu's reputation."

    Yuan Shang's face turned red instantly.

    "Back then, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, was unwilling to cross the Wujiang River and brought the flames of war to Chu. He was such a hero that even Emperor Gaozu was full of praise." Pang Tong said while finishing his sword.

    In comparison, Yuan Shao, the Fourth and Third Duke, was famous all over the world, but what did he do?

    Using the common people as a shield?

    Yuan Shang suddenly felt ashamed and lowered his head.

    Zhuge Liang had an idea and said: "I'm afraid Yuan Benchu ??may not know about it, but he just gave birth to a rebellious son."

    Directly pour dirty water on Yuan Shang.

    Guo Tu almost clapped his hands and applauded!

    Yuan Shang prides himself on being smart, but what¡¯s the result?  Being manipulated by others.

    "No, that's not the case!" Yuan Shang argued, "What I mean is to save the people of Jizhou from military disasters."

    "That's it. With the Autumn Hunting Agreement, what are you worried about?" Zhuge Liang said, "I remember that Yuan Benchu ??understood the righteousness and joined the Autumn Hunting Agreement."

    Yuan Shang was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He had already made it clear that if you don't retreat, we will use the people as a shield!

    However, he was beaten back by Zhuge Liang with a Tai Chi.

    No matter how courageous Yuan Shang was, he would not dare to speak too directly.

    This is too taboo!

    Leave a record of the population.

    Yuan Shang couldn't help but look at Guo Tu. As a deputy envoy, how could he watch a show?

    Damn it, this matter was originally assigned to Guo Tu. If he had known better, he would have been more decisive and refused his father.

    "It's a pity that one wrong step led to another wrong step."

    "Since the war, our army has not done any harm to the common people. The Lord also affirms the Qiu hunting agreement." Guo Tu said seriously, "But aren't the soldiers human beings? They are also common people!"

    When Yuan Shao pledged his loyalty, he used this to attack Liu Ke, and Guo Tu used this flexibly.

    "The soldiers don't want to fight, but the people are determined, so please ask the Marquis of Dongyang to show your support!" Guo Tuqing said sincerely.

    "Just now, who said they wanted to attack Bingzhou?" Zhuge Liang asked.

    Guo Tu was speechless for a moment.

    Damn it, Zhuge Liang is so picky!

    How to deal with this?

    I have slapped myself in the face many times.

    Guo Tu looked at Yuan Shang affectionately, indicating that he had tried his best.

    Stop making excessive demands!

    "Well, let me give you two a suggestion." Pang Tong suddenly interrupted.

    Yuan Shang and Guo Tu both held their breath and concentrated for fear of missing a word.

    "Yuan Shao's big tree has fallen, and so does our Yangzhou! Mr. Yuan Shang is a talented man, and Mr. Guo Tu has outstanding abilities. He can definitely take refuge in my lord!" Pang Tong said.

    "My lord has always been thirsty for talents. If you two come to vote, you will definitely be reused. After all, my lord has been worried about officials. Now that you have added Youzhou and Jizhou, the manpower is really not enough." Zhuge Liang added.

    The two sang and harmonized, leaving Yuan Shang and Guo Tu confused.

    To seek refuge with the Marquis of Dongyang?

    It seems that it is really feasible!

    "My lord has always praised many famous people in Hebei. Tian Feng, Shen Pei, Feng Ji, Ju Shou, and you, Mr. Guo, are all useful talents. When you come to Yangzhou, you will definitely have a place!" Pang Tong said.

    "Not only that, the Lord will also use the position of governor to recruit talents." Zhuge Liang said.

    The position of governor!

    Everyone dreams of it.

    Because the monarchs are different, the position of governor is also different.

    Can the Youzhou governor appointed by Yuan Shao be the same as the one appointed by Liu Ke?

    With Yangzhou at his back, this governor is a hot cake.

    Maybe he will become a minister of Conglong in the future.

    Who is not moved?

    "As Young Master Yuan Shang, he is the biggest competitor for the position of governor." Pang Tong said.

    "I will not betray my father!" Yuan Shang suddenly said loudly.

    This loud shout also woke up Guo Tu.Guo Tu couldn't help but slandered in his heart: I can hear you, don't be so loud, aren't you afraid of losing your head?

    Of course Pang Tong knew that it was impossible for the two of them to rebel with just one sentence. After all, they were the closest people to Yuan Shao.

    But it is not without effect. The Yangzhou side has taken the initiative in negotiations.

    Yuan Shang and Guo Tu are like monkeys being played with.  Yuan Shang has been planning a counterattack, but he has no idea.

    "How can this be betrayal?" Pang Tong then seduced, "This is for the people of Jizhou!"

    These words made Yuan Shang realize the reality.

    It is true that Marquis Dongyang loves the people, but it is absolutely impossible to take advantage of the people and make Marquis Dongyang surrender.

    Today¡¯s negotiations ended on bad terms.

    Yuan Shang and Guo Tu returned to the temporary camp arranged by the Yangzhou Army, looking sad.

    "Our mission has not been completed and we have not seen Dongyang Hou!" Guo Tu said.

    You still have the nerve to say it?

    Yuan Shang almost cursed.

    But Guo Tu¡¯s next words made Yuan Shang change his mind.

    "I tried to inquire with the guards, but they kept silent about the matter of Dongyang Marquis." Guo Tu said.

    Yuan Shang is a smart man and understood what Guo Tu meant instantly. This situation is very abnormal.

    Why should I praise the Marquis of Dongyang?

    "Having not seen Dongyang Marquis with my own eyes, we cannot easily draw conclusions on this matter." Yuan Shangdao knew very well what consequences a misjudgment would lead to.

    "So, I plan to pretend to surrender and see the Marquis of Dongyang." Guo Tu said.

    This idea seems to be a good one.

    There was nothing he could do at the moment, so Yuan Shang had no choice but to give it a try.

    So, that night, Guo Tu secretly handed a note to the guard,

    The guard was quickly handed over to Zhuge Liang. After reading it, he smiled slightly and met Guo Tu secretly.

    "Master Guo, what do you want to do for me?"

    "Speaking of which, this is not the first time I have dealt with Dongyang Hou." Guo Tu said eloquently.

    During the first anti-Yangzhou Alliance, Guo Tu accepted Liu Ke's money to help expose Li Ru's conspiracy.

    Yuan Shao retreated in anger.

    Speaking of which, Guo Tu did a good deed, so he mentioned it again just to build relationships.

    "I understand Master Guo's thoughts," Zhuge Liang said.

    "In that case, please tell Mr. Zhuge that I want to see the Marquis of Dongyang. Otherwise, I won't worry." Guo Tu said.

    "My promise is my lord's promise." Zhuge Liang said.

    However, Guo Tu did not give up and said: "If there is no personal promise from Dongyang Hou, I will not believe it."

    Zhuge Liang suddenly became embarrassed and said: "It's already late at night, I'm afraid my lord has fallen asleep."

    "It's okay. You can report back during the day." Guo Tu said generously.

    During the day, aren¡¯t you afraid of arousing Yuan Shang¡¯s suspicion?

    Zhuge Liang has seen through everything, and Guo Tu's little thoughts are just in vain.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
