Tian Yu glanced at Guan Jing in surprise.

Seeing this, Guan Jing smiled slightly: "How about it? Are you impressed by me, a flatterer?"

"Indeed." Tian Yu nodded.

Guan Jing looked at Tian Yu's serious look and twitched the corner of his mouth: "You are really rude."

"In this situation, is there anything else we need to hide between us?" Tian Yu said calmly.

"That's right. When life and death are at stake, there really is nothing to hide."

"The more life and death, the more you can see a person's heart. Shiqi, you surprised me." Tian Yu said.

"Is there anything unexpected? Do you think I am a person who only flatters and pleases His Majesty?" Guan Jing said disdainfully: "Don't think that you are the only one who is His Majesty's mastermind. Although I am not as good as you, I am not.

Stupid man. In terms of strategy, I am indeed inferior to you, but in terms of understanding of Your Majesty, I am much better than you."

"I admit this, but I didn't expect that a shrewd person like you who wants to get ahead would make such a stupid decision."

"People have things to do and things not to do. Although I love power, I also have my own persistence. If Your Majesty really failed me, I would choose another master. But now that Your Majesty has failed me, what can I do?

Can you do something unjust?" Guan Jing said matter-of-factly.

As a flatterer, he also has his own persistence. It is not illegal to flatter people. As long as he can get to the top, what's the point of flattering horses? He himself does not have the extraordinary ability of Tian Yu. If he wants to stand out from the encirclement of many advisers, it is natural.

Some means are needed. But the seller is still unwilling to do this kind of thing to seek glory.

"Your Majesty really saw the right person. What are your next plans?"

"Your Majesty is in a situation where even you can do nothing about it. Naturally, I can't do anything about it. However, I can still do it by leaving a trace of incense for Your Majesty." Guan Jing said with a gleam in his eyes.

"You mean His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Guan Jing nodded slightly: "The most dangerous time is also the time when flaws are most likely to be revealed. Now Yuan Shao's thoughts are focused on His Majesty, and Your Majesty also plans to fight to the death. I have my own way to do it, either mentally or unintentionally.

Send His Royal Highness out."

"Where do you plan to send His Highness the Crown Prince? Liaodong?" Tian Yu asked.

"Otherwise?" Guan Jing asked back: "No one knows the current situation. The position of the master of the world is between the two Yuan brothers. Yuan Shao can't accommodate His Highness the Crown Prince, so naturally he can only choose Yuan Gongli. Leave a place for His Majesty.

With the next glimmer of incense, there may not be a possibility of a comeback in the future."

"How sure are you?"

"It depends on how much noise your Majesty can create this time." Guan Jing smiled and said: "As long as I can force Yuan Benchu ​​to treat him seriously, I am more than 90% sure that I can send His Highness the Crown Prince out of Youzhou."

"What about Jixian County?" Tian Yu asked.

"Nothing can be done. We are willing to follow His Majesty, but others are not like that. These are our comrades and the mainstay of my Dayan. You must not be willing to disappear with us like this! Let's do it!

It is not a bad thing for them to survive His Majesty's well-intentioned deception. This is also His Majesty's expectation, so why should I be such a wicked person? Just pretend to be deaf and mute and do my best to obey fate." Guan Jing said casually.

The difference between him and Tian Yu is that he always looks at problems from Gongsun Zan's standpoint and character, obeys Gongsun Zan's choice, and never disobeys. This is the difference between a sycophant and a straight minister. His whole person is almost dedicated to Gongsun Zan.

Service, all behaviors and actions are extremely obedient to Gongsun Zan's heart and needs.

"That's fine." Tian Yu hesitated for a moment and then said with a bitter smile: "This is also your Majesty's own choice, and we must obey it."

In fact, according to Tian Yu's character, in this case, he should directly reveal Gongsun Zan's intentions to all civil and military personnel, and unite all forces to fight Yuan Shao in a decisive battle to achieve a greater victory rate.

The difference between Tian Yu and Guan Jing lies in this. One is to make the best choice for Gongsun Zan from a rational standpoint, while the other is to make the best choice for Gongsun Zan from Gongsun Zan's standpoint.

But now Tian Yu has to choose to compromise, because now Gongsun Zan has no winning rate at all, and at most he will cause some trouble for Yuan Shao. And the remaining civil and military officers are all colleagues, and the reason why they betrayed Gongsun Zan is also because of Gongsun Zan himself.

, Tian Yu really couldn’t do it.

"It's rare that you and I can reach an agreement. I thought you would never understand what compromise is." Guan Jing teased.

"You, a treacherous minister, can die to serve the country, why can't I, a loyal man, be humble and flatter you?" Tian Yu said calmly.

...

Three days later, after Tian Yu inquired about the deployment of Yuan Shao's army and Yuan Shao's situation, he followed Gongsun Zan and led the Baima Yi Cong to set off, leaving Guan Jing and all the civil and military forces to guard the city.

Standing on the city tower, Guan Jing looked at Gongsun Zan and Tian Yu who were gradually retreating, as well as the mighty white horse Yi Cong of more than 2,000 people, praying secretly in his heart. But the two lieutenants behind him had flashing eyes and different thoughts.

, but Guan Jing pretended not to notice.

Now the city is completely deserted. If Gongsun Zan is defeated, then Yuan Shao will not even need to attack as long as he comes to the city. At that time, these civil and military officials will surrender on their own initiative and welcome the Zhao army in.

As the general manager appointed by Gongsun Zan, he had no military power and no ability. How could he control others? To put it bluntly, it was nothing more than a decoration. Guan Jing, who was already determined to die, didn't care about it. Instead, he actively fought with them.

They fought together and looked ready to surrender to Yuan Shao, but secretly sent someone to disguise Gongsun Xu and secretly send him out of Jixian County.

"Military advisor, what do you think is your Majesty's chance of winning this time?" Shan Jing suddenly stood beside Guan Jing at some point and asked softly.

"Your Majesty has no possibility of victory." Guan Jing said calmly.

No matter how stupid he is, he can still see the current situation clearly. No matter how strong Baima Yicong is, he can't compete with tens of millions of troops. Gongsun Zan's attack is just a moth flying into the flame, seeking his own death.

"Then if His Majesty is defeated miserably, is it possible for us to defend Jixian County?"

"Of course not. At that time, we will either kill ourselves to thank Your Majesty, or we will surrender to Yuan Benchu." Guan Jing said without caring.

"Then what do you think we should choose?" Shan Jing said in an incomprehensible tone.

Guan Jing took a deep look at Shan Jing, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but on the surface he said calmly: "Just adapt to circumstances. If something really cannot be done, you might as well stay dormant temporarily to accumulate strength for future resistance."
