Chapter nine hundred and seventy seventh sincerity
Now that Chen Xi is here, this is excellent news for Gongsun Gong. Everyone knows the importance of Chen Xi in Liu Bei's power.
"I have admired the name of Marquis Chen for a long time, and I don't want to see his face today." Gongsun Gong bowed to Chen Xi with great respect, without any embarrassment that he was older and Chen Xi was younger.
"I also have great admiration for your Majesty, General Gongsun. In the past, our transactions were smooth and convenient. Unfortunately, Yuan Shao blocked it, so we had to stop our interactions. But now it can be smoothed out, which is great." Chen Xi said calmly,
He has been looking a little down lately, and it's hard for anyone to tell what he's thinking from his face.
Chen Xi's words made Gongsun Gong even more respectful. Regardless of whether Chen Xi's words meant forgetting the past or being a slap in the face, he did not dare to show any impatience now. On the contrary, he had to work harder to take care of Liu Bei's emotions.
"Liaodong is located in a remote area, and it relies on convenient sea routes and trade with the Central Plains to ensure the safety of the place. Unfortunately, once there was a slight improvement, the former Jizhou pastoralists regarded us and other remote people in the Han region as a threat. As a result, there was no peace in Liaodong.
Li Luan." Liang Mao saw that Gongsun Gong was a little difficult to answer, so he took over.
"I think this is the prefect Liang who governs Lelang." Chen Xi nodded calmly and did not argue with Liang Mao. It was not they who had the final say on what happened before, but Chen Xi himself.
"I am honored to be informed by Marquis Chen." Liang Mao said calmly, "General Gongsun and I are here this time. One is to congratulate Duke Xuande on his victory. The other is to coordinate our efforts again.
After all, Liaodong is bitterly cold and without the support of the Central Plains, it is indeed difficult for the Han people to survive for a long time."
After Chen Xi sat down, he glanced at Liang Mao. What he said was indeed quite good. Should he be said to be a worthy person?
"It's not impossible." Chen Xi said calmly, but his tone and expression without any fluctuation made Gongsun Gong feel unsure.
"So, Mao is here to thank Gong Xuande on behalf of the people of Liaodong." Liang Mao was not worried about Gongsun Gong and immediately bowed to confirm this fact.
"It's just a transaction, communication. It's beneficial to both parties, so why refuse. But I'm curious, if bandits appear again on the sea, will our communication be cut off?" Chen Xi played with Yu Gui's calm eyes.
Gongsun Gong, who had a ghost in his heart, was extremely disappointed.
"No. That kind of thing will never happen again. Last time, my father had vigorously cracked down on the pirates. Now the situation at sea has improved a lot. That kind of thing will never happen again." Gongsun Gong replied quickly.
road.
Are you kidding? When dealing with Liu Bei, his answer was that there were too many pirates. In fact, there were pirates on the sea at that time. How could there be pirates when Gan Ning was running around with his fleet? That was just an excuse. For Gongsun Du
It is in his best interest to have an evenly matched battle between Yuan and Liu.
It's a pity. Now Gongsun Du can only scold Yuan Shao for being useless. Liu Bei overturned Yuan Shao's car without even losing a hair. Gongsun Du unilaterally severed the relationship and offended Liu Bei.
"The pirates are gone." Chen Xi looked like he had just learned about it. Before Gongsun Gong thought the matter was over, Chen Xi changed the topic and said, "After they are gone, there will be no more? If I remember correctly, I said it at the beginning
The reason is that there are so many pirates along the coast of Youzhou and Jizhou that they can be killed endlessly."
Gongsun Gong broke into a cold sweat. Gongsun Du wanted to sever the relationship but didn't want to offend Liu Bei too much. So he found some evidence that he felt was good for his face, and then made up such a sentence. How could he have thought that Chen Xi would say such a sentence at this time?
If so, isn't this an obvious plan to deal with Gongsun Du?
"My father has barely controlled the situation with his vigorous campaign." Gongsun Gong replied bravely.
Gongsun Gong didn't want Liu Bei to be the master of their family's ledger at all. Although the Gongsun family claimed to be the king of Liaodong, they were not qualified to compete with Yuan Shao, let alone Liu Bei who defeated Yuan Shao.
"It turns out that we just managed to control the situation." After Chen Xi said something, he said in a nonchalant manner, "Maybe the previous situation will happen again, right?"
This time Chen Xi did not hide the coldness in his eyes at all, which made Gongsun Gong and Liang Mao extremely depressed.
[Gongsun Dulian is ready to go all out. If sending his son here is a sign of sincerity, then sending the infertile Gongsun Gong here is a warning to us that they are ready to go all out? 】
Chen Xi picked up the tea cup and thought quietly. He had some guesses about the two people in front of him. He couldn't help but look at Gongsun Gong with a touch of pity. As for Gongsun Du, from Chen Xi's point of view, he was almost a frog in the well.
[I'm afraid Gongsundu thinks that he is located in Liaodong and is close to the three Koreas. It is just a barren land. When Liu Bei really wants to settle the accounts, he only needs to fight to the death and survive for a while, and we will not be left with that piece of useless land.
But the Central Plains is so big.]
When Chen Xi put down the tea cup, he had already pieced together all his information. Gongsun Du was indeed a ruthless man. He came to surrender openly but was secretly prepared to fight to the death.
[It’s just that he didn’t expect that the land under his feet would be so important. It is a huge benefit that can make a country fight to the death. Do you really think we will give up easily? 】
"I don't want to pursue the past affairs of the two of you, but show your sincerity. Gongsun Shengji will definitely give you the answer when he sends you here. To be honest, Gongsun Shengji plans to give it a try and see if we have the patience.
Leave the Central Plains to fight for that barren land, then I can tell you now." Chen Xi sneered and glanced at the two people in front of him.
"Even if it is a barren land, the place where the enemy is is worth conquering, so I would like to ask you two, do you want to stand on the opposite side of us or do you still want to be a Han minister and protect the Han Dynasty?" Chen Xi said in an extremely cold voice.
, just fight if you don’t accept it.
To be honest, Liu Bei's forces really don't have the energy to go to war now. It's not because they have no spare energy, but because building Jizhou and Yuzhou is more important than going to war. They are just trying to scare them now, but who knows this?
"If Marquis Chen is willing to give us a chance, we will never change our previous position." Although Liang Mao was also horrified, he immediately suppressed his panic and replied after regaining consciousness.
I have to say that this is a very good answer. Who knows what the position was, whether it was the King of Liaodong or the Han Dynasty who conquered Goguryeo in the east and fought against Karasuma and Xianbei in the west? (To be continued)
