One hundred and forty-eight pedal two boats
If Fang Li's plan is to be successful, he must have seen it with his own eyes by the envoy of Zhao State, otherwise he can only talk to himself. Recommended: Xiangnan Xiaoxiaosheng, the master's new work: "The Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty" http://www./0_1/
After thinking about it, Fang Li decided to write a letter to Gongsun Yan, who had just returned to Handan, and asked him to find someone to help him make this plan. This person must have a certain status in Zhao State and should not be too careful and smart.
Gongsun Yan has been in Zhao State for a long time and enjoys high-ranking officials and generous salaries. Fang Li is not sure whether he is more inclined to Tang State or Zhao State at this moment.
After all, time has passed, the Tang Kingdom is no longer the Yu Kingdom, and the Gongsun Yan is no longer the Gongsun Yan of the past. With Zhao Yong's win-win and heavy use, God knows whether Gongsun Yan is happy about Tang.
Although Gongsun Yan stayed in Zhao State to facilitate coordination of joint affairs between Tang and Zhao, strengthen communication between the two countries, leaving without saying goodbye would destroy the alliance relationship. But if Gongsun Yan was determined to return to Tang, he would not find a chance to escape if he didn't believe it.
A few days ago, Gongsun Yan had just arrived in Yongcheng on behalf of Zhao State and conveyed the conditions for Zhao Yong to send troops. Although Fang Li asked Gongsun Yan to go back and try to stabilize Zhao Yong, if Gongsun Yan did not want to leave, Fang Li would definitely send another envoy to Handan and leave Gongsun Yan in Tang State, but Gongsun Yan did not show his intention to stay.
Examples of never returning are everywhere in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. After all, people go to high places and water flows to low places. If Gongsun Yan really intends to change jobs in Zhao State, Fang Li also expressed his understanding of this.
This plan is an opportunity. Fang Li intends to take the opportunity to test whether Gongsun Yan is still loyal to the Tang Kingdom.
If the plan can be successful, it means that Gongsun Yan is still concerned about the Tang Kingdom, and on the contrary, Gongsun Yan is already part of Zhao.
"Gongsun Xishou, Gongsun Xishou, use this plan to check whether there is still a relationship between you and me."
Fang Li wrote a letter and quickly compiled a letter to Gongsun Yan, asking him to find a worthy but careless person in Zhao State to come to Tang State to escort the grain and grass, which led to the "fake burning grain and grass".
Cao Cao and Zhou Yu Fangli were extremely opposed to this move, believing that Gongsun Yan had been in Zhao State for a long time and was awarded the position of a doctor. His heart might have fallen to Zhao State. If he knew his plan, he would be ruined.
But Fang Li insisted on his own opinion and believed that he would not be able to guess Gongsun Yan's psychology without paying the price.
If you can use this plan to recognize Gongsun Yan's current attitude, it will be worth it even if you lose it. If Gongsun Yan still cares about the Tang Kingdom, then you will continue to use it in the future and use it without doubt.
If Gongsun Yan turns to Zhao State, then draw a clear line and there is no connection.
After hearing Fang Li's words, Cao Cao and Zhou Yu stopped persuading him, but they were a little regretful, "It's a pity to use a very good plan to test Gongsun Yan's loyalty!"
Fang Li smiled: "It's okay, I just thought of a plan again, maybe it could take Pang Juan's life and severely damage the Wei army."
Cao Cao and Zhou Yu were both excited when they heard this: "Oh... what is the lord's plan?"
Fang Li smiled mysteriously: "The secret of heaven should not be revealed. First, send the letter to Handan to see if Gongsun Yan can help us trick Zhao Yong into sending troops to attack Zhao. If Gongsun Yan has completely turned to Zhao State, our Tang Dynasty can only rely on ourselves!"
It took only more than 500 miles from Yongcheng, Tang Dynasty to Handan, Zhao State. The envoy quickly rushed and delivered the letter to Gongsun Yan in a day and a half.
"Fang Bofu is testing me and let me accept the letter of fame!"
After reading it, Gongsun Yan took a breath of air conditioning, pinching the white paper he saw for the first time, his heart was ups and downs, as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
"This thing is so good, soft and delicate, with clear handwriting, easy to carry, much more advanced than bamboo slips!"
Gongsun Yan couldn't help but think about the content of the letter, and he was amazed at the material of the letter and praised it endlessly.
In fact, Gongsun Yan really had the idea of walking on two boats in his heart. Zhao Yong treated him well. Zhao State is also one of the five powerful countries in the world. Gongsun Yan really wanted to stay in Zhao State.
But thinking about Lin Xiangru, Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, and Zuo Shi Chulong were there, Gongsun Yan was a little hesitant.
In Gongsun Yan's heart, he must be the prime minister of a country so that he can show his ambitions and ideals. With Lin Xiangru and Zhao Sheng there, Gongsun Yan felt that Zhao Xiang's position was a bit out of reach for him.
This made Gongsun Yan miss the Tang Kingdom a little.
In just half a year, Fang Li merged the three kingdoms of Guo, Yu and Shen into one country, and established a quasi-powerful country with a population of 2.5 million and a population of 110,000. The future is really limitless.
Moreover, the three provinces and six ministries introduced by Fang Li is also refreshing. The princes of various countries praised it endlessly, and many countries imitated the intention of reform. This also made Gongsun Yan see the vitality of the Tang Kingdom and made him look forward to this newly rising country.
However, the Tang State had a poor geographical location and was sandwiched between Jin, Wei, Zhao and Qin. Gongsun Yan was not sure how long the Tang State could survive, so he was not in a hurry to return to Tang, but continued to be equipped with official seals from both countries and on two boats.
But this time Fang Li forced Gongsun Yan to make a choice in the letter. If the plan was not successful, the Tang Kingdom would definitely not regard Gongsun Yan as his own person anymore.
If Fang Li helps to reach a plan, then if the news leaks out in the future, Zhao Yong will definitely not be able to tolerate himself.
"Whether to choose Tang or Zhao"
Gongsun Yan was in a dilemma and was swaying. He sat in front of the desk for most of the night until Dongfang was about to dawn, and he made up his mind to help Tang Guo with all his strength.
"I planned to annex Guo and Yu and go south to destroy Shen. My Gongsun Yan would be considered a founding meritorious service. As long as I help Fang Li to reach a plan this time and deceive Zhao Yong into sending troops, I will make another contribution to the Tang State. After I lifted the siege of Jin and Wei, I found an opportunity to leave Zhao State and return to Tang State to serve."
Gongsun Yan made up his mind and took a nap in the bed with Yi for a while. After dawn, he rushed to the Zhao Palace to attend the morning court.
Above the hall, Zhao Yong sat in the middle and Lin Xiangru, Lian Po and other civil and military officials stood alone.
After the civil servants first reported several political affairs, General Li Mu took the scepter board and reported: "Lord, Wei general Pang Juan's attack on Tang has not made any progress, while Han general Bao Yuan is attacking Daliang. The country of Wei is empty. I think it is time to seize the opportunity to attack Wei County, Guantao and other places in Wei, expand the territory and attack Wei."
Zhao Yong glanced at Gongsun Yan with a serious expression and stroked his beard: "The opportunity is indeed good, but at first, our Great Zhao and Wei State do not have much conflict. If we take advantage of the situation at this time, we will inevitably become a mortal enemy with Wei State in the future.
Secondly, we dispatched 200,000 troops to attack Jin last year, and spent money and food, and got nothing. Instead, we made wedding dresses for Fang Li, allowing him to establish a powerful Tang Kingdom, which may become a hidden danger in the future.
This time, the Wei and Jin dynasties jointly attacked, my great Zhao should be watching from the wall and reap the benefits of the fisherman. At this time, the attack on the Tang Dynasty would be solved for Fang Li.
Several days ago, Mr. Gongsun and Zhao Qi went to Yongcheng to visit Fang Li, asking for 500,000 stones of grain on 100,000 pieces of white paper as a reward for sending troops. Fang Li was unquestionable, neither agreeing nor rejecting, and was really cunning.
Therefore, I do not plan to send troops, but continue to watch from the wall and make a decision based on the situation!"
Lin Xiangru and Zhao Sheng supported Zhao Yong's opinions one after another: "The lord's words are reasonable. The battle between Tang and Wei will definitely last for a while. I, Da Zhao, don't rush to send troops, so it's better to let the Tang monarchs and ministers suffer some trouble!"
Gongsun Yan coughed and stepped out, bowed and said, "Yan just received a letter from Duke Tang last night and asked Yan to report Duke Zhao that 500,000 stones of grain had been prepared and could be sent to Handan at any time. Please send an envoy to Handan to inspect it to show the gratitude of the Tang Kingdom. He is willing to work together with Zhao in the future and share the same honor and humiliation."
"Oh... Fang Li really agreed." Zhao Yong showed surprise.
Gongsun Yan bowed and said, "Donald Tang said this in his letter. How dare Yan speak nonsense? I believe that the Zuo Master is highly respected and can be asked to go to Tang State to receive food. The civil and military officials of Tang State will definitely not be short of weight and inferior to others."
Zuo Shilong had been idle in Handan for many years. After hearing Gongsun Yan's recommendation, he immediately stepped out and bowed: "The old minister would like to go to Tang State to take a walk and escort back to Handan with a grain of 500,000 stones of grain."
"Okay, then I'll have a good time!"
Zhao Yong immediately agreed and handed it over to Chulong's five thousand soldiers and horses, leaving Handan with Gongsun Yan to go to Tang State to receive food.
As long as 500,000 stones of grain arrived in Handan, Zhao State would definitely send troops to attack Yecheng and siege Wei to save Tang.
