Chapter 1054 The heart is not ancient
Xinpi told He Yong that within three years, Yuan Shao still has a clear advantage and a chance to defeat Sun Ce. If Sun Ce cannot be defeated within three years, one will rise and fall, and Yuan Shao's advantage will gradually be lost, and it will be difficult to defeat Sun Ce again. Instead of relying on Yuan Shao, it is better to rely on the emperor who is about to become an adult.
Of course, Xinpi had another meaning. When the emperor became an adult, Yuan Shao would have no chance. Three years later, the emperor was seventeen years old, Sun Ce was twenty-three, and Yuan Shao was over fifty years old. Yuan Tan, who was the most likely to share the responsibility, was defeated. Yuan Xi was not even as good as Yuan Tan. Yuan Shang was not yet adult. Why did Yuan Shao compete with these two young people?
After listening to Yuan Tan's retelling, He Yong's sense of crisis became stronger and stronger, and there was a little more possibility to list Sun Ce as an alternative to party members. With Zhang Jian, Liu Biao's choice first, and Xun You's actions first, He Yong thought about it and felt that this plan had a certain possibility. He decided not to rush back to Chenliu and stayed to observe Sun Ce for a while.
Sun Ce took Gao Rou under the tent, and the negotiations fell on He Yong alone. Sun Ce asked He Yong to send a message to Zhang Miao and ask him to re-arrange personnel negotiations. He was very angry and dissatisfied with Zhang Miao's negligence. I took the initiative to see you, so you would send a minor official to see me? If you don't come, I will go to Chenliu to see you.
He Yong sent the news back to Chenliu. Zhang Miao was frightened and immediately sent Zhang Chao to negotiate. Zhang Chao was his younger brother and the commander of the Suiyang war, so he could fully represent him and Sun Ce in negotiations.
While waiting for Zhang Miao to reply, Sun Ce had no intention of waiting. He led the army to advance towards Xiangyi. The vanguard general was no one else, but was the newly surrendered Luzhao. Sun Ce used Luzhao as a general and suddenly achieved a sensational effect in Chenliu. Luzhao was not only a person from Chenliu, but also a surrendered general, but more importantly, he was Luzhao's brother. Luzhao refused Sun Ce's extermination at the beginning and also publicized his disdain for Sun Ce. However, Sun Ce captured Luzhao and used him as a general. This kind of mind and demeanor was definitely not easy.
Since all road tricks can be used by Sun Ce, why can't others?
Chenliu people's interest in Sun Ce increased greatly, and many people began to inquire about Sun Ce. Soon, Gao Rou and Sun Ce hit it off at first sight, and the news that Sun Ce was entrusted with important tasks was spread. Then, someone learned that we, Dian Wei, were also Sun Ce's confidants.
Of course, the easiest thing to know is Cai Yong’s father and daughter. Cai Yong wrote history in Xiangyang, Cai Yan was a teacher in Nanyang Kindergarten, and he got married with Zhou Yu, and was an absolute supporter of Sun Ce.
If you don’t check it, you will be shocked. Chenliu people have only now discovered that Sun Ce and Chenliu have such a deep relationship. They immediately have increased their interest. Many people have begun to try to find ways, hoping to see Sun Ce and see if they can ask for an errand under Sun Ce. First-class families can go to Yuan Shao and go to the court. A large number of small and medium-sized families and even poor families do not have such a way, so you might as well choose Sun Ce.
Zhang Chao walked along the way, and at first listened to people talking about Sun Ce but didn't care too much. Later, after hearing too much, he couldn't help but become alert. Chenliu is the territory of their brothers. If Chenliu people are all interested in Sun Ce, they will be in danger. The more he hears, the more he feels more and more panicked. By the time he is Xiangyi, he is already in vain. When he arrives at Sun Ce's camp, he does not meet Sun Ce as soon as possible, but goes to He Yong's tent and asks He Yong for advice.
He Yong's attitude was very vague. In the face of Zhang Chao's repeated begging, he kept silent. It was not until Zhang Chao was so anxious that he could speak reluctantly. "Zhong Zhuo, I am old and have nothing to say. Sun Ce will respect me, but he will not reduce his ambitions towards Chenliu because of me. Chenliu is a place where military strategists must fight for. There is the Grand Marshal Zhu Gong in the west, the Benchu in the north, and the Sun father and son in the east. Think about it, who is your friend? Chenliu is the former land of Zheng State, and Zheng State has also dominated for a while, and then declined. Haven't you ever thought about it?"
Zhang Chao blinked his eyes, sweating in cold sweat, and bowed to He Yong for advice.
"Go and invite Sin to come back. He may not be able to help you defeat anyone, but he has enough ability to help you survive. If it were in the past, even if you wanted to invite him, he might not be willing to help you. The situation is different now. He has suffered consecutive setbacks and his spirit is low. If you can respect him, he may be grateful to your brothers and repay him."
After He Yong finished speaking, he sarcastically said. "Meng Zhuo is one of the eight chefs. When did he become so snobbish?"
Zhang Chao was blushing and nodded, promising to send someone to chase Xinpi immediately. He Yong then slowed down and promised to mediate Zhang Chao in front of Sun Ce. However, if Xinpi really solved the problem, he had to wait for Xinpi to design. With He Yong mediated from it, Sun Ce gave Zhang Chao a little face and welcomed him politely. But as He Yong said, he insisted that Zhang Miao himself came to see him and give him an explanation, otherwise he would go to Chenliu in person.
Zhang Chao was anxious and sent someone to rush back to Chenliu, asking Zhang Miao to send someone to recover Xinpi, asking Xinpi to plan and break the crisis.
Pingyuan County, Gaotang.
Yuan Shao held the reins of the horse, raised his head, and looked at the towering Mount Tai, his face as cold as ice.
The strategists and guards all lowered their heads and kept smiling seriously. They even slowed down their breathing intentionally or unintentionally. They all knew that Yuan Shao was only one step away from being angry at this moment. If anyone angered him, there would only be one result.
Cao Ang just sent news that Yuan Tan was defeated in Rencheng, and the army of 60,000 to 70,000 troops were destroyed, leaving only Zhu Ling, Yuan Tan himself was captured and persuaded to surrender Feng Kai. Cao Ang was unable to counterattack and had to retreat to Dongping.
After reading Cao Ang’s military newspaper, Yuan Shao didn’t say a word. The atmosphere was as depressing as Mount Tai had overturned, and even his breathing became very difficult.
Yuan Shao raised his hand and gently shook the whip. "Mr., please accompany me for a walk." After saying that, he waved the whip and whipped the horse's buttocks and ran forward. Just as Ju Su was about to follow him, Tian Feng winked at him. Ju Su nodded understandingly and rode his horse to chase Yuan Shao.
Guo Tu saw it, his face remained unchanged, but the corners of his mouth trembled inadvertently. He turned around and walked towards Cao Ang’s messenger Bao Xun, winked, and called Bao Xun aside.
"Shuye, what is the situation in Dongping? If you put it in detail, there must be no omission."
Bao Xun did not dare to be negligent, so he bowed and said the situation in Dongping one by one. His father Bao Xin was once a friend of Guo Tu. He was considered Guo Tu's son and nephew, and he dared not be negligent in etiquette. Besides, he knew that Guo Tu was Yuan Shao's confidant. Whether Cao Ang could successfully take over as the governor of Yanzhou was very important. Before coming, Chen Gong took the initiative to take charge of him and asked him to find a way to talk to Guo Tu. Now Guo Tu took the initiative to look for him, how could he have the courtesy of refusing?
