Chapter 627 Balance
Zhu Ling didn't know how to persuade her, and she knew that Diao Chan was telling the truth, but deep down she was always a little confused! Maybe she didn't even know what she was confused about.
Yang Tian finally felt the joy of losing and regaining, but he still said calmly: "Actually, I agree with Ling'er's opinion, but since Miss Diao Chan is so persistent, then follow Miss Diao Chan! However, I am not used to being accustomed to being accustomed to serving me, so Miss Diao Chan only needs to be responsible for assisting me in handling daily affairs. As for life, I should do it myself."
Diao Chan is still waiting to object, but Yang Tian waved his hand to stop her, and Diao Chan had to obey.
At this time, Yang Tian suddenly felt that Diao Chan's profession was the secretary of those company bosses in the real world? I wonder if he would be as good as "a secretary who has something to do, and a secretary who has nothing to do". But for the time being, he can't do such a thing.
Afterwards, Yang Tian let Zhu Ling and Diao Chan enter the Xuan Ji Ring, and then he walked out of the cabin to say goodbye to Jiang Qin and others.
...
Yang Tian went east along the Yellow River, bypassed the Sishui Pass, and then went straight to the Hulao Pass, which took nearly two hours.
Along the way, Yang Tian kept thinking about when Dong Zhuo would withdraw from Luoyang City, hoping to wait until the Lieyang Legion and that part of the Jinfan Navy arrived in Sili, otherwise Yang Tian would not be able to guarantee that he could maximize his own interests.
After returning to Hulao Pass, it was already noon. The offensive and defensive battle outside Hulao Pass was still continuing. After hours of fierce fighting between the two sides, a thick layer of corpses had been piled up under the pass.
Yang Tian did not blatantly enter the army, but first came to his commander's tent through invisibility, and then set out to meet with Guo Jia on the front line.
Not long after, Yang Tian found Guo Jia's figure in the army. At this time, Tao Qi, the deputy commander of the Qinglong Legion, was staying beside Guo Jia. The other generals were missing, probably participating in the siege.
When Guo Jia saw Yang Tian, he could tell from his expression that the trip was quite smooth. He immediately said, "Lord, you are back at the right time. Now the offensive and defensive battle at Hulaoguan has reached a critical moment. It is estimated that the conclusion will be found within two or three days."
"Oh?" Yang Tian didn't understand very well. Judging from the current situation, the Hulao Pass guards have not been in chaos and there is no sign of collapse in the city wall. How could this Hulao Pass be attacked within two or three days? He asked immediately, "What do you mean?"
Guo Jia smiled and said, "I just saw that Wen Hou Lu Bu hurriedly got off the city wall and did not come up again. Contact your lord again. It is probably because Dong Thief was worried about his comfort and transferred Lu Bu back to Luoyang City. Once Lu Bu left, he would naturally take away a large part of the elite army. There were not many troops in Hulao Pass, so if he transferred some people to leave, Hulao Pass would undoubtedly be broken."
Yang Tian was stunned and said, "Have you ever seen Gao Shun's camp?"
Guo Jia shook his head and said, "The camp has never appeared on the city wall after Lu Bu left. It is estimated that he went back to Luoyang City with Lu Bu."
When Yang Tian heard this, he was a little disappointed. Gao Shun actually left Hulao Pass. The idea of his plan to capture Gao Shun at Hulao Pass was not feasible. In this way, it seems that he can only wait for Dong Zhuo to move the capital to Chang'an to see if he can find an opportunity to take him down.
"When will the Lieyang Legion reach the Sili Realm now?" Yang Tian frowned slightly and asked Guo Jia.
Guo Jia immediately replied: "This morning, Brother Hansheng mentioned to me that the Jinfan Navy who were heading to Luoyang had just arrived at the mouth of the Yellow River. If you want to arrive in Luoyang, it will take four or five days."
Yang Tian sighed and said, "It seems that the Lieyang Legion is too late. Once Lu Bu rushed back to Luoyang City, Li Ru will definitely suggest Dong Zhe to evacuate Luoyang as soon as possible, leaving us with little time!"
Guo Jia said: "In fact, there is no way to delay the evacuation of Dong Zhe. Just do this. If it is exposed, it may damage your reputation."
"You talk first!" Yang Tian asked.
Guo Jia looked around and then said to Yang Tian: "If you want to delay the speed of Dong Zhe's evacuation, you must start from two aspects. The first is to make him feel that Hulao Pass will not be broken in a short period of time, and the second is to make him feel that the way to retreat is not safe. And to form such a result, there is only one way, that is, the lord sends an envoy to meet Dong Zhuo, lying that he is willing to advance and retreat with Dong Zhuo, but the lord needs to raise this condition higher, otherwise Dong Zhuo may be difficult to believe."
Yang Tian thought about it and said that Guo Jia's method was feasible, but as he said, if the news of his affair with Dong Zhuo would be disdained by the heroes in the world, it would be inconsistent with his own interests. The strong relationship between them is indeed difficult to weigh.
After a while, Yang Tianwen asked: "Fengxiao, this Dong Zhuo is not a fool. I'm afraid it's hard to believe our sincerity. Besides, there is Li Ru around Dong Zhuo, so he is even more difficult to deceive."
Guo Jia said, "The lord is too worried. If others betray the covenant and defect to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo may not believe it, but he will definitely believe it when he goes, because the lord is an Yiren, and most of the Yiren left us a valuable influence to us, the indigenous people, to benefit. As long as there is enough profit, you can definitely do anything. What's more, the lord has something in his hand. As long as he takes out this thing, Dong Zhuo will definitely believe his lord's sincerity."
"What?" Yang Tian didn't think of anything in him that could make Dong Zhuo believe in him.
Dong Zhuo smiled and said softly: "Ya Seal!"
"Jade Seal!" Yang Tian was startled, shouted softly, and then his expression became entangled, saying, "Don't be useless! Moreover, the attributes of this jade seal are very powerful and are of great help to the development of our Baiyun City. Using a jade seal that you get in exchange for benefits that may not be able to get is completely a loss-making deal!"
Indeed, Yang Tian really doesn't want to take out this jade seal. You have to know that the jade seal is the first magic weapon he has obtained. Each of the four major skills it comes with makes Yang Tian salivate. If he wants to take this thing out now, Yang Tianzhen is a little reluctant to let it go.
Guo Jia said calmly: "My lord, in fact, the jade seal has no effect on us now, and we cannot use it. Instead of doing this, it is better to use it in exchange for something more beneficial to us. What's more, when the lord takes out this imperial seal, he can also make a request to Dong Zhe to exchange for some treasures or... talents."
After hearing this, Yang Tian's eyes lit up. This might be a good idea! Yang Tian estimated that the imperial seal would be a useless existence in his hands for at least two or three years. If he could get certain benefits through this jade seal, after more than two years of development, it would definitely be of great help to improve Baiyun City's strength. Its value may not be worse than the value of the imperial seal. What's more, as long as he has enough strength, he will not be unable to get the imperial seal. As far as Yang Tian knows, the jade seal has been turned over several times in history, and no one who obtained the jade seal in the middle could preserve it for a long time.
What's more, Guo Jia's words also reminded himself that he didn't have to exchange for any treasures in the other party's hands when using this imperial seal, but he could also exchange talents, such as Gao Shun, or other top talents.
After thinking it through, Yang Tian nodded and said, "Then do it according to Fengxiao you're willing! However, the method of sending envoys is not very appropriate. Dong Zhe has no guarantee of the reputation of Dong Zhe. If he kills people directly to seize treasure, we have no choice. Therefore, in my opinion, it is better for me to take this trip in person. After all, I have a lot of life-saving ability. Even if I am surrounded by Dong Zhe, I can escape smoothly."
Guo Jia thought about it and felt that what Yang Tian said made some sense, so the two of them discussed the details.
Yang Tian did not rush to Luoyang immediately because he had one thing to do before leaving. If he could not complete this matter, even if he went to persuade Dong Zhuo, he would not be able to delay the evacuation time.
At dusk, Yuan Shao ordered the siege to withdraw his troops again. At the same time, Yuan Shao summoned the leaders of various princes to go to the general's tent to discuss tomorrow's war. After Yang Tian received the notice, he took Guo Jia and Huang Zhong to go there.
As soon as Yang Tian walked into the coach's tent, he found that except for his position, everything else was full. Unexpectedly, he came the latest, which made Yang Tian feel ashamed.
"General Yang, yesterday I heard Mr. Guo say that you are in a bad state and rest in the tent. The leader of the alliance originally planned to come to visit him, but Mr. Guo said that you don't like to see guests. In addition, the war is urgent, so I didn't come. Today, seeing General Yang's complexion is rosy, I guess he has recovered completely, right?" Yuan Shao stood up and smiled as soon as he saw Yang Tian, and he didn't know how sincere he said.
Yang Tian didn't care about his true thoughts. He didn't plan to have a deep relationship with the other party anyway. As for the other party saying that he was in good health, it was just a guise for Guo Jia to withdraw. He immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Benchu, for my concern. Today I am fine, so I came over to listen to your opinions. I can't leave behind the scenes of fighting Dong thief!"
Yuan Shao said a few politely, then said, "Since you are all here, let's talk about today's situation and discuss how to fight tomorrow's battle! Brother Meng De, why don't you talk about it first?"
Cao Cao was not humble and stood up and said, "Then I'll show my shame first! In fact, most people today saw that Lu Bu's guy fell down the city wall, and I got news this morning that something happened in Luoyang City last night, which made the city go crazy. Therefore, in my opinion, Lu Bu must have withdrawn Luoyang City to protect Dong Zhe's safety. Without Lu Bu's Hulao Pass, we can fight one by one to reduce the morale of the other party, and then attack the city suddenly. Although it may not be effective in one blow, it will definitely cause great casualties to the other party."
