Chapter 1104
Han Sui's heart was pounding, and Cheng Gongying, who was beside him, also had a change in his face. Only Han Yin was inexplicably surprised.
Jiang Gan saw it, picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip.
What is the difference between Han Sui and Ma Teng? It is very different. Ma Teng is a brave warlord, fighting bravely and has a good control, but he has little study and no strategic vision, so he is not as broad as Han Sui. If Han Sui can understand the mystery behind the big ship, Ma Teng may not be able to understand it. And this kind of thing cannot be made clear, and can only be understood. Without this understanding, he is not worthy of knowing this matter.
If Sun Ce's navy could cross the sea to Liaodong, it would be as simple as transporting horses. He could directly attack Bohai, insert Yuan Shao into the ribs, and push the battlefield into Jizhou. Yuan Shao has the advantage of cavalry, and Sun Ce has the advantage of naval forces. Everyone shows their strengths. If you hit yours, I will hit mine, and who can stand it. No matter how strong the cavalry is, it will not be able to cross the river. Yuzhou will be destroyed, and Sun Ce will also have Yangzhou. If Jizhou is damaged, Yuan Shao will be miserable, and Gongsun Zan will take his life.
In other words, although the war after autumn has not begun, Sun Ce has already deployed counterattack methods, and Yuan Shao's advantage is not as obvious as imagined. It is unknown who will win. If he fails, the consequences may be even more serious than Sun Ce's failure. At this time, the bet on Yuan Shao may lose completely. On the contrary, those who support Sun Ce at this time may receive generous returns.
Han Sui was from Liangzhou. Yuan Shao looked down on him at first, but he only formed an alliance with him due to the situation. When Yuan Shao defeated Sun Ce, Yuan Shao was likely to abandon Han Sui again. With Han Sui but not Han Sui, it was not much different for Yuan Shao. Sun Ce was different. He urgently needed war horses. Han Sui not only had an advantage now, but still had an advantage in the future. Even if Sun Ce could transport horses from Liaodong and supply war horses from Nanyang, it was still the most convenient for Guanzhong.
Until absolutely necessary, Sun Ce would not give up the Liangzhou horse and put all his hopes in Liaodong. How did he know that Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Du would not blackmail him in the future? It would always be good to have an extra choice. Sun Ce understood this truth, and Han Sui also understood it, and in comparison, Sun Ce's choices were obviously a little more. He and Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Du were all ally, and they still had a little upper hand, but Han Sui was not qualified to argue with Yuan Shao.
Han Sui, Cheng Gongying and Han Yin discussed it and made a decision. Considering that Yan Xing and Han Sui's daughter Han Shaoying were not young anymore and Yan Xing was unable to return to Guanzhong in a short time, Han Sui decided to send his daughter to Runan to get married, and the dowry was 500 war horses.
Jiang Gan was very satisfied. Of course, he told Han Sui that General Sun had the intention. After soliciting Yan Xing's opinion, he had prepared the corresponding betrothal gift and was on standby in Wuguan and could be transported to Guanzhong at any time.
In order to cover up, this matter will be managed by Yan Xing's father Yan Jian, and Han Yin cooperated to escort his sister to Runan to get married.
Zhou Zhong, a senior general, sat in the car and looked at the pedestrians coming and going in the inn, frowned secretly.
After leaving the palace and reaching the inn, he saw several passers-by with wrong clothes. Some were wearing winter clothes, while others were obviously men with sluts, but women's clothes were all wrong.
This is what is called "shouting monsters" and "heat is against cold and heat, and the rituals and music are broken.
Just as Zhou Zhong was feeling emotion, a follower hurriedly walked out of the post house, came to the car, and whispered: "Master, the people in the post house said that Jiang Gan had been away for four days."
Zhou Zhong was stunned. "Do you know where he went?"
"have no idea."
Zhou Zhong slapped his thigh and turned to look at Liu Ye. "Zi Yang, what should I do?"
Liu Ye kept closing his eyes and leaning against the wall of the car to rest, and slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were bloodshot and exhausted. Xun Yu was dismissed and went to Fufeng to check the disaster. Zhong Yao looked for Xun Yu again. He became the emperor's supporter. He was busy these two days and was now dragged out by Zhou Zhong as a staff officer. He was really tired. If it weren't for the fact that Chengde and Shu County were very close, they were barely considered as fellow townsmen, and the emperor needed to rely on the power of the Zhou family, he would not bother to get involved with Zhou Zhong.
Zhou Zhong is not bad, but his ability is not worthy of the position of Grand Secretary Agriculture. Being moral and not being able to match positions is often the cause of disaster.
"Have Duke Zhou sent someone to Han Sui's camp?"
Zhou Zhong understood as soon as he heard this, and immediately ordered the coachman to turn around and go to Han Sui's camp. Jiang Gan came to Chang'an and visited Ma Teng. It was impossible not to visit Han Sui. These two were Sun Ce's allies in Chang'an, and Sun Ce could not favor one or the other.
Liu Ye yawned and closed his eyes to rest again. Although Zhou Zhong was unhappy, he could only bear it. The emperor was young and trusted the ministers, Xun Yu, Zhong Yao, Liu Ye and Liu Ba of the Situ Mansion were the most favored. Most of them were left aside. If the situation was not for the grim situation this time and he was Zhou Yu's uncle, the position of the Grand Minister would not have fallen on him.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhong felt very moved. Unexpectedly, the glory of the Zhou family would be transferred from his branch to Zhou Yi's branch. Zhou Yu became the most promising child of the Zhou family. When he made friends with Sun Ce, the father and son felt that Zhou Yu was ill and rushed to seek medical treatment. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu had a chance to defeat him. In just a few years, Sun Ce became a prince, and Zhou Yu also rose and became an important general.
The young man is so terrifying. The situation has changed so quickly that it is overwhelming.
Zhou Zhong came to Han Sui's camp and still did not find Jiang Gan. Han Sui said that Jiang Gan had been here, but he came yesterday and left in the afternoon. As for where he went, he didn't know.
Zhou Zhong was a little confused. This time, Liu Ye did not hesitate and immediately asked Zhou Zhong to rush to Baqiao. Zhou Zhong was skeptical, but he did not ask and ordered the coachman to act according to Liu Ye's instructions. They walked urgently and chased him to Baqiao Post. Although they did not catch up with Jiang Gan, they confirmed Jiang Gan's whereabouts. Jiang Gan checked in Baqiao Post last night and left early this morning.
Zhou Zhong's impression of Liu Ye has changed greatly, and his attitude has also changed significantly. I'm much more polite.
"Zi Yang, where are Jiang Gan going?"
"Taiyuan."
"See Jia Xu? Jia Xu has sold so many horses, so it should be gone."
Liu Ye moved his body and sat up. "Although Jia Xu has no horse, the position in Hedong is very important. In the past two years, Jia Xu has kept a low profile in Bingzhou. Many people only saw Sun Ce fighting in the east and facing the west, but forgot these Liangzhou people. Duke Zhou should still remember that after the Battle of Junyi the year before, Sun Ce made a special trip to Hedong to meet Jia Xu."
"It's true."
"Although Sun Ce is respectful to the wise and humble, he is busy with affairs. If this person is not extremely important, he would not have made a special visit. As far as I know, so far, there are only two and a half people who have met this special: one is Jia Xu, the other is Lu Su Lu Zijing, a native of Dongcheng, and the other is Zhang Hong and Zhang Zigang, who are now in charge of Nanyang."
"Lu Su Lu Zijing, a native of Dongcheng? This is the first time I heard you mention it."
Liu Ye yawned again. "Lu Zijing has a high vision and is disdainful of false reputation. There are indeed not many people who know him, so I am also very surprised how Sun Ce knew him. This person seemed to be..." Liu Ye smacked his lips, and a trace of uneasiness flashed between his eyebrows. "Cheating."
