The genius remembers the address of this site in one second: [] The fastest update! No ads!

The military parade and flag presentation ceremony held in Xiangping caused a huge sensation in the two prefectures of Pingchen, and the influence of the military parade and flag presentation was also spreading outward at an extremely fast speed.

It wasn't just Yi Sun-shin and the leaders of the grassland tribe who were shocked, the horror of the other princes was even stronger.

Stimulated by this, the princes also began to take action one after another, and those who were far away gradually accelerated the pace of expansion, narrowing the gap with Shang Ji as much as possible.

But the distance is short, and those who are directly threatened by Shang Ji began to find ways to use various means to delay the development of Shang Ji's army.

The most obvious one is Gongsun Zan!

More than a month ago, Gongsun Zan's surprise attack on Lulong Fortress failed. Not only did he fail to capture Lulong Fortress while Shang Ji was away, but he also lost troops. After the defeat, Gongsun Zan was in constant fear, fearing that Shang Ji would raise his troops to kill him in the next moment.

However, after waiting and waiting, there was still no movement from Shang Ji. Gongsun Zan seemed to see a glimmer of hope, and hurriedly sent envoys to Xiangping with gifts, hoping to turn the war into jade.

It's just that Shang Ji had already made up his mind to take Gongsun Zan's sword. Gongsun Zan's emissary was rejected in Xiangping and sent back without even seeing anyone.

Confused with shame and anger, Gongsun Zan began to frantically expand his army and prepare for war, hoping to give it a go.

Because of the large-scale army expansion, the number of troops under Gongsun Zan's command swelled like a balloon. Looking at the growing army, Gongsun Zan regained some pride and ambition.

But this lofty ambition came and went quickly, and the military parade and flag presentation ceremony in Xiangping made Gongsun Zan's hard-earned courage evaporate.

In desperation, Gongsun Zan turned into a self-defeating mode, completely neglecting government affairs and not paying much attention to military affairs, drinking and having fun all day long, feeling quite drunk today.

Gongsun Zan's actions made all his generals very anxious. Many of their lives and fortunes were linked to Gongsun Zan. If Gongsun Zan died, they would not end well.

But now Gongsun Zan didn't listen to the persuasion at all. It was fine to have a banquet together, but if anyone wanted to bring up a serious matter, Gongsun Zan immediately turned his face.

"Drink, it's all done!"

Hearing the noise of banquets in the hall, Guan Jing, Gongsun Zan's most trusted adviser, was walking around outside the hall in a hurry.

He had persuaded Gongsun Zan to cheer up many times. At the beginning, Gongsun Zan was perfunctory to him, but later whenever he mentioned this matter, Gongsun Zan's face was full of displeasure. After a long time, Gongsun Zan even refused to see him.

Guan Jing lingered at the entrance of the hall for a while, stomped his foot for the last time, turned around and went straight to Li Su.

At this time, Li Su's position in Gongsun Zan's army was very embarrassing. As Dong Zhuo's envoy, he had successfully persuaded Gongsun Zan to surrender.

However, unforeseen events happened. Right after Gongsun Zan placed his bet, Dong Zhuo's army was defeated, and the arrogant Xiliang army was wiped out in a very short period of time. At the same time, Li Su's status also plummeted, and some people even proposed to kill Li Su to show favor to the coalition forces.

Fortunately, Gongsun Zan was still clear-headed and did not agree to this proposal, but kept Li Su behind.

Although they saved their lives, the soldiers under Gongsun Zan's command attributed today's fate to Li Su, and their hostility towards him was quite obvious.

Li Su also has self-knowledge, he lives in seclusion all day long, keeping a low profile and keeping a low profile, for fear of arousing the disgust of others.

If it weren't for the name of Dong Zhuo's remnants on his body now, and everyone in the world is calling for beatings, Li Su would have found another way out long ago.

"Boom boom boom!"

Li Su was sighing secretly in the room, but when he heard a knock on the door hurriedly, Li Su was so frightened that he immediately grabbed the spear at hand and asked anxiously, "Who is it?"

"Brother Ji Yong, it's me, Guan Jing."

Li Su breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, stood up and said, "It turns out that it is the official of the customs officer, please come in, please come in quickly."

Even if Gongsun Zan wanted to kill him to show his favor to Shang Ji, it would not be the turn of a literati from Guan Jing to come forward.

"Brother Ji Yong, today we have to entrust our wealth and life to Brother Ji Yong!"

When Guan Jing came in, he just bowed.

Li Su was confused.

Hurrying to help Guan Jing up, Li Su quickly said: "What is the official of Guan Jing doing? Don't you want to hurt me?"

"I'm dissatisfied with brother Ji Yong, there are merchants sharpening their knives, and the lord is depressed. Our army is in danger at this time, and only brother Ji Yong is the one who can save our army from danger!"

"Where do you start with this? To tell you the truth, I am a bereaved dog at this time. I can only survive because of the grace of my lord. How can I save the entire army from danger?"

Li Su's eyes widened, and he looked at Guan Jing suspiciously. Now he suspects that Guan Jing is up to some conspiracy, and wants to take the opportunity to kill himself!

"No, no, brother Ji Yong is too modest, brother has this ability!"

After a pause, Guan Jing continued: "The biggest problem we have now is that the lord is lacking in spirit and lacks time. If the lord can regain his strength and seek two or three years of development time, our army may not be without the ability to resist the merchants. "

"What does the chief official mean, let me go and persuade the lord to cheer up?"

Li Su is also a smart person, and he heard some clues from Guan Jing's few words, so he couldn't help asking.

"That's right, just as Ji Yong thought!" Guan Jing nodded sharply.

Li Su was a little hesitant, using his ability to persuade Gongsun Zan to cheer up temporarily, it was not difficult, the difficulty was how to maintain it. From Li Su's point of view, it is really hard to see that Gongsun Zan has any chance to turn things around.

The illusory chicken blood can't last long. Once the effect of the skill is over, Bi will usher in a deeper level of decadence.

"Brother Ji Yong doesn't care about this. I have my own means to cheer up the lord completely. As long as Ji Yong can cheer up the lord temporarily and he can listen to the harsh words, I will leave the rest to me."

"Okay, since the chief official has spoken in person, let me give it a try, and I implore the chief official to go with a certain officer to meet the lord."

"Please!"

After the discussion, the two immediately went to see Gongsun Zan hand in hand.

After many times of begging for an interview, Gongsun Zan finally couldn't bear their softness and stubbornness, struggled out of the fine wine and beauties, and met Guan Jing and Li Su.

The specific process of the three people's conversation is unknown to outsiders. It is only known that after more than an hour of secret conversation, Gongsun Zan's spirit was renewed, and he appeared in the barracks that afternoon to visit and condolences to the lieutenant. Even when dealing with official duties, he forgot to sleep and eat, and spent all his energy and time on military and government affairs, showing a posture of repentance and hard work.

And when Gongsun Zan was concentrating all his energy on the development of his power, Yan Gang, his most confidant general, personally led a thousand elites to escort a carriage to Xiangping with great fanfare.

This time, the envoy led by Yan Gang did not encounter the embarrassing scene last time, and met Deng Yan, the first person in the government affairs system under Shang Ji's command, very smoothly.

And that afternoon, Deng Yan went to see Shang Ji.
