"Report! Gongsun Zan's army has invaded Zhongshan Kingdom, and the front line is in urgent need! Please send troops for support!"
"Report! Yuan Shao sent General Yan Liang and Chen troops to the border between Bohai and Hejian County! The intention is unknown!"
Blessings come in pairs, and misfortunes never come alone.
For Han Fu, Yuan Shao's actions were not surprising.
In troubled times, there is no way to offer help in times of need and to save your friends. In the face of interests, the so-called allies are usually not a bunch of hungry hyenas. They will just quietly hide in the corner, waiting to bite you when you are at your weakest.
Take off your bloody flesh.
But this really made Han Fu's already unfavorable situation worse.
Gongsun Zan beat Han Fu into a melon, and Yuan Shao attacked from both sides.
It's so hard for me.
"Gentlemen, do you have any good ideas for the current situation?"
Like most princes, Han Fu also maintained a group of staff to advise him - but as a "peace-loving" (cowardly) prince, most of the time, the main role of these staff was more like internal affairs officers.
Now that the situation was critical, Han Fu finally thought of gathering these small-breasted guys together for a brainstorming session.
"Lord, you must be careful about Yuan Shao's move..."
Nonsense, the troops are already approaching the city, yet you still need to say, next one.
"My lord, don't panic. There is a saying from the ancients that if you do any injustice, you will be killed. Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao are treacherous and unjust masters. We just need to wait for them to die suddenly on the spot."
Come on, beat this guy to death. Forget it, I'll do it myself.
"Lord, I know a very awesome old goddess. Why don't we invite a god to come back and curse them!"
Promote feudal superstition, do you want this book to die on the spot? Drag me out and recite the core values a hundred times!
"Lord, if it doesn't work, we will kneel down and call them daddy. For the sake of family ties, they will definitely spare our lives!"
This idea seems to be a good one... Bah, how can I, Han Fu, the great pastor of a week, dare to live in an ignoble way and be greedy for life and afraid of death?
Hit me, hit me hard!
The argument did not produce any useful results. Instead, the chatter and quarrel made Han Fu's head grow bigger.
Facts have proved that the saying that the three stooges are equal to Zhuge Liang is a fallacy.
As for the unreliable advisers under his command, it seems that they are indeed helping to deal with government affairs. If he were the kind of ambitious leader who wants to dominate the world, I believe that even the ashes have been raised by now.
.
In this situation, Han Fu could only look up to the sky and sigh.
"Heaven is going to kill me!"
"Report to my lord, there is an envoy from Yuan Shao outside the door asking to see you!"
Damn it, Yuan Shao... called him so quickly?!
——————
The system prompts: "You have started the special plot [Skillful Tongue to Capture Jizhou]. Please note that in this plot, your actions may affect the final outcome of the plot and the friendliness of the plot characters. Please be sure to pay attention to your words and deeds."
As envoys, Ma Yiyuan and the others were introduced into a wing room by a middle-aged scribe with a goatee, thick eyebrows and small eyes.
"Guys, wait a moment, the master will be here soon."
As the chief envoy, Xun Chen smiled and nodded slightly to the scribe who came up to him.
"Good work."
After saying that, he sat down and closed his eyes like an old monk in meditation.
Not only Xun Chen, but also fellow deputy envoys Xin Ping and Guo Tu seemed to have pressed the pause button, closing their eyes and remaining silent.
As a player, Ma Yiyuan obviously does not have this kind of determination.
At first, I continued to follow the same instructions, but after sitting for a short while, I felt like I was sitting on pins and needles.
At first, he was still sitting upright. Later, affected by the gravity of the earth, the entire center became lower and lower, and gradually became a standard Geyou paralysis.
Not only that, I saw him take out a handful of melon seeds from his backpack, put the melon seeds into his mouth with one hand, and quietly touched his nostrils with the other hand, and started picking them out of habit.
In short, the posture is really eye-catching, and Xun Chen, who was meditating calmly aside, finally couldn't stand it anymore.
"cough!"
I saw him cough slightly.
The system prompts: "Due to your misbehavior, the princes of Jizhou have some contempt for Yuan Shao's envoy."
You are the one who misbehaved, and your whole family is misbehaving.
As an envoy, you represent the face of your lord.
At least, Ge You must not be paralyzed, eat melon seeds, or pick his nose in public.
The system prompts: "Due to your inappropriate performance, Xun Chen's evaluation of you has dropped."
What the fuck?!
For a pure plot player like Ma Yiyuan, friendliness is life.
Brother, I was wrong! Brother, give me another chance!
The four of them stayed motionless like wax statues for an unknown amount of time. Finally, the door of the wing opened again, and an old man in brocade robes pushed the door in, followed by a large group of people dressed as scribes.
The entire wing was packed to the brim.
"You guys have been waiting for a long time. I'm waiting for you, Han Fu."
After saying that, he sat down on the main seat.
The scribes who followed Han Fu in also found their own seats and sat down. In an instant, dozens of pairs of eyes in the entire room were staring at Xun Chen and the four of them.
The scene was a bit like a club quarrel.
——————
The struggle between civil servants is not bloody, but it is as murderous as the battlefield.
Han Fu and others had already arrived outside the door, but they deliberately did not come in, and did not even pour a cup of tea for Xun and Chen.
This is a show of force.
Using more people to bully the smaller ones, dozens of people besieged them from all directions with no blind spots.
This is also a show of force.
After all, Han Fu was the governor of a state, and Yuan Shao's Bohai County was under the jurisdiction of Jizhou. If he lowered his stance too low, there would be no negotiation, and the request would be in vain.
Negotiation is about momentum.
The negotiation table is another battlefield - envoys need to abide by etiquette, advance and retreat in a controlled manner, and even have the courage to risk their lives at any time. It is by no means an easy job.
Obviously, the effect of showing off one's power is not very satisfactory.
Both Xun Chen and Guo Tuxinping had seen big scenes, so naturally they couldn't be frightened by Cricket's glances.
As for Ma Yiyuan - he is simply thick-skinned.
Seeing everyone staring at him with wide eyes, Ma Yiyuan not only did not panic, he even opened his eyes and stared back without caring.
The system prompts: "Because you are not afraid in the face of danger, the contempt in the hearts of Jizhou generals seems to have disappeared."
"Okay, Yuan Benchu really has a lot of talents under his command, you are so brave," Han Fu praised with a smile, and clapped his hands gently, "Come here, serve tea!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several beautiful waiters came over with pots of tea soup and poured tea for all the scribes present.
Han Fu picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"I wonder why Benchu wants to come to Han?"
"Oh, that's it. My lord said that you have been surrounded. Surrender quickly!"
"puff!"
Before he finished speaking, Han Fu sprayed a mouthful of tea on Ma Yiyuan's face.
