Chapter 1168

At last, the grand banquet of conferring the king came to an end, and everything returned to peace. On the first court meeting after conferring the king, the news that the king of Tang awarded 13 Marquises once spread all over the world in a few days, which caused a great sensation in the whole world. In fact, when the other kings ascended the throne, they also sealed several Marquises, but the number was far less than that of Huangfu Chaobo.

For example, gongsunzan, the king of Yan, only awarded his two younger brothers and two subordinates. Gongsunfan was granted the title of dukangting Marquis and Shiyi 200 households. Gongsunyue was granted the title of fanyuting Marquis and Liangyi 200 households. Guanjing and his top general Tiankai were granted the title of Guannei Marquis and Shiyi 100 households. Even his three righteous brothers were not granted the title.

On the second day after the great dynasty, Huangfu Chaobo met with the envoys of the king of Yan, sun fan, the Marquis of dukangting and the national captain of Yan. Today, the three gongs of Yan state are Guojing, Guowei Gongsun fan and Yushi Zhongcheng Gongsun Ji.

When the king of Yan ascended the throne, Huangfu Chaobo sent Xun you as an envoy to congratulate him. The standard was not low. You know, Xun you was the second prime minister appointed by Huangfu Chaobo, and now he is also the first of Shangshutai. He can be said to be the second person among civil servants.

However, Gongsun Zan was even more exaggerated. He sent his most capable younger brother, Gongsun fan, the national captain of the state of Yan, to come here. This shows Gongsun Zan's reiteration of Huangfu Chaobo.

In the side hall, Huangfu chaobo'an sits on the throne, and Gongsun fan stands in the hall: "foreign minister Yan Guowei, governor Kang tinghou Gongsun fan pays a visit to the king of Tang!"

"Dukang Pavilion, please get up!"

"Thank you

"Come and sit down!"

Immediately, a eunuch took a chair and sat down for Gongsun fan. Seeing this, Gongsun fan quickly gave thanks again.

"Thank you for your seat!"

This was Gongsun fan's second time to see Huangfu Chaobo. The first time was after the ceremony, he and other envoys of the princes met in the hall. The reason why he chose to meet Gongsun fan in the side hall is that the relationship between the two families is already very good. In addition, the personal relationship between Huangfu Chaobo and Gongsun fan is also unusual. Therefore, meeting in the side hall can bring the relationship between the two families closer.

After Gongsun fan sat down, Huangfu Chaobo said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for more than a year. Now, Dukang Pavilion marquis is more beautiful than ever!"

"Thank you for your praise. Fan is just like before, but he is more energetic!" Gongsun fan Gongjin replied;

"in fact, I met the general in Weiwei, so the general doesn't have to be so formal. When we met under the Great Wall at that time, Gu Shang was an idle stranger, but the general was a thousand captains under general Baima. After many years, our friendship became deeper and deeper. So this time, Gu Shang did not meet the general in the main hall, but chose the side hall, hoping to have a heart to heart talk with the general. "

After listening to Huangfu Chaobo's words, Gongsun fan was obviously relieved. However, his expression was obviously relaxed, but his attitude was still very respectful. He said gratefully, "King Xie, however, there is a difference between respect and inferiority. Wang shangkuang is broad-minded, but his foreign ministers should not lose their etiquette."

After hearing this, Huangfu Chaobo saw Gongsun fan's look and knew that he couldn't be too demanding. So he said, "I'm very happy that the general has come so far. It's rare for him to come to the Central Plains. This time he happens to stay in the Central Plains for a long time. I can send someone to lead him around."

Gongsun Fan said with a wry smile: "now everything is in chaos in the state of Yan. I really dare not stay for too long. After this visit to the king, fan will set out to return to the state of Yan in two days."

According to Gongsun fan, today's Yan kingdom is not as bright as it seems. Since Gongsun Zan was defeated at Jieqiao last time, the elite of Yan Kingdom has been almost wiped out. In addition, the invasion of Xianbei to the South last year has also made Yan lose a lot.

These are not the most important. The most important thing is that Gongsun Zan seems to have lost his original indomitable fighting spirit. Now all he wants to do is drink and have fun with his three righteous brothers. Oh, another thing is to go south to Jizhou for revenge. After more than a year's development, the state of Yan has indeed accumulated some strength, but it is not comparable with that before the Jieqiao war.

What's more, this time Gongsun Zan got the title of King Yan and formally established the country. After the founding of the state, the official positions and titles were arranged. However, whether it was the position of Sangong or the four Marquis who were awarded, they were not related to gongsunzan's three righteous brothers. In this way, the three people were very dissatisfied, but fortunately, none of them showed obvious dissatisfaction.

There's no way. It's not that Gongsun Zan doesn't want to reward them, but the reward in the game is determined by his personal merit. Generals can accumulate enough merit in killing enemies and civil servants in dealing with internal affairs. It's easy to think about the merit of low-level officials. But the higher the level, the more merit they need. Therefore, Gongsun Zan can only let the three elder brothers serve To general Zhonglang.

Then the three men presented 500000 Guan to Gongsun Zan as a gift of congratulation. Gongsun Zan recruited 30000 soldiers for the three men and gave them 10000 soldiers to each leader. With these 10000 soldiers, on the one hand, the three men stepped up their military training, on the other hand, they constantly urged Gongsun Zan to prepare to attack the state of Wei, so as to accumulate enough merits for themselves.Now Gongsun Zan has been urged by the three of them, and is preparing to launch an attack on the state of Wei to avenge the failure of the battle of Jieqiao. However, in Gongsun Yue and Guan Jing's mind, the state of Yan is far from fighting against the state of Wei, and has been trying to persuade Gongsun Zan not to rush to Hebei, but Gongsun Zan has refused, so this time Gongsun fan took the opportunity of sending an envoy to the state of Tang to seek help from Huangfu Chaobo. He hoped that Huangfu Chaobo could help the state of Yan and attack the state of Wei.

As for the plan of sending troops to attack yuan, Huangfu Chaobo and a group of counsellors planned to wait for the Tang state to recuperate for a few years, and the plan of sending troops to attack yuan was not the first in the Tang state's plan, but now that Gongsun fan made the request, Huangfu Chaobo solemnly agreed. Huangfu Chaobo knew that it would be much easier to attack the state of Wei with Gongsun Zan's help, and Gongsun Zan was eager for revenge. Therefore, if Gongsun fan could not persuade him, the Tang army would have to cooperate with the Yan army as much as possible.

Huangfu Chaobo believed that Gongsun Zan would not refuse to join forces with him to attack the state of Wei. After a moment's consideration, Huangfu Chaobo agreed to Gongsun fan's request, saying that as long as the state of Yan was ready and informed the state of Tang in advance, he would certainly join forces to attack yuan Shao.
