Chapter 196 Nanyang Haoqiang Wants to Turn Around

Zhang Zhongjing left the prefect's mansion, hurried out of the small city, and came to the Zong house on the east side of the city.

Zong Cheng was talking to Lou Gui in the hall. Both of them looked bad and were thinking about their own thoughts. Wancheng was captured by Yuan Shu, and the heads of the family who were originally imprisoned by Cao Cao in the inner city became Yuan Shu's prisoners. If it weren't for the good friendship with Yuan Shu, Zong Cheng would have been unable to escape the prison. Despite this, Zong Cheng's life was difficult. The manor outside the city was captured by Yuan Shu, and the land was distributed to the army. He only had to sit in the city's house and live a good life without Yuan Shu to deal with him.

Lou Gui's situation was similar. Cao Cao took Yuan Yao away and threw a big pit to him. If Yuan Shu could save Yuan Yao, it would be fine. However, Yuan Shu was ambushed by Cao Cao again and was dying. Once Yuan Shu or his subordinates pursued him, Lou Gui was the first unlucky person. Yuan Shu was the one who dared to burn the palace, and he destroyed the Lou family without even blinking his eyes.

The two people who had been sympathetic and had basically never had contact with each other suddenly became friends of life and death.

Hearing the footsteps, Zong Cheng and Lou Gui raised their heads at the same time. Seeing that it was Zhang Zhongjing, Zong Cheng quickly stood up and took the initiative to meet the steps.

"Zhongjing, what's the situation?"

Zhang Zhongjing wiped the sweat beads on his forehead. "God has the virtue of being alive, and Mrs. Yuan agreed. As long as you don't care about anything, you can do nothing to blame."

"I will not blame the past?" Zong Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and a hint of anger appeared on his face. "He killed so many of us, why are he saying "I will not blame the past? To say "I will not blame the past, it should be our not blame the past. When will it be his turn to say this?"

Zhang Zhongjing saw it and smiled bitterly. Yuan Quan had just let go of the powerful Nanyang, and Zong Cheng couldn't hold back before he finally decided to let go of the powerful Nanyang. If this continues, he may not be able to escape a bloody killing in the end. Or Sun Ce is right, these people are all sick and are not ill. Or ordinary medicines cannot be cured. They must use acupuncture to get rid of the broken flesh and blood to revive them.

Seeing that Zhang Zhongjing's face was wrong, Lou Gui quickly winked at Zong Cheng. Zong Cheng stroked his beard and looked unhappy. "Zhong Jing, what else?"

Zhang Zhongjing thought for a moment and said slowly: "Although General Yuan was too seriously injured, so he might not be able to hold on for too long. Sun Bofu was highly valued by General Yuan, and this time he risked his life to rescue General Yuan. General Yuan may have the idea of ​​passing the throne. Sun Bofu has moved into the back room and is in the same room with General Yuan, and has a great conversation."

"What a pleasant conversation?" Zong Cheng sneered: "Since that's the case, then you can't die?"

"No, that's just a rebirth."

Zong Cheng's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Lou Gui. Lou Gui stroked his beard and smiled bitterly. Although Yuan Shu was generous, he was born in a noble family. If Cao Cao had not occupied Wancheng and the powerful Nanyang betrayed him, he would not have had a broken-up with the powerful Nanyang. Sun Ce was different. He was humble from a humble family and both father and son were willing to kill. Sun Jian killed Wang Rui and killed Zhang Zi. Sun Ce was even better. He killed the Kuai family and Xi family in one breath, and then squeezed out the powerful Xiangyang. If he replaced Yuan Shu and occupied Nanyang, the situation of the powerful Nanyang would be even more troublesome.

Zong Cheng's eyes rolled. "Zi Bo, if you contact Xinye, Anzhong, Nieyang, Jiyang, and Xi'e families and raise an army together, will it be possible to win?"

Lou Gui's eyes shrank slightly and he didn't say anything. However, Zhang Zhongjing was anxious and quickly shook his hand to stop him. "Zong Jun, you must not."

"Why not?" Zong Cheng's eyes were sharp. "If Yuan Shu died, Sun Ce would not be able to control the situation at all. If nothing else, Yang Hong would not surrender. Sun Ce had people, and all the generals had people, and there were more horses, and the number was greater than Sun Ce. They were of high origin, older than Sun Ce, and had more qualifications than Sun Ce. They were willing to bow to Sun Ce's children? Besides, Sun Ce was young and knew what power and strategy he could do was kill people. Once the war started, he would not care about us, and he would not even have to ask for help from us."

Zhang Zhongjing shook his head repeatedly. "Zong Jun, you are right. It will be difficult for Sun Bofu to control the situation when General Yuan dies. Because of this, he is willing to give in and let go of his past grudges with the rest of his family..."

"Will Sun Ce make up for his past grudges?" Lou Gui was shocked and interrupted Zhang Zhongjing. "What did he say?"

Zhang Zhongjing was very unhappy, but he still patiently passed on Sun Ce's opinion to Zong Cheng and Lou Gui. In his opinion, although Sun Ce defended Yuan Shu and himself, the meaning of reconciliation was also very clear. He also said that Yuan Shu did not kill anyone, he only killed the He family, and the land was also distributed to the troops, and they did not occupy it as they already exist. If the aristocratic family was willing to accept the reality, Sun Ce should not intensify the conflict, at least not for the time being.

But Zong Cheng and Lou Gui didn't think so. They felt that Sun Ce realized that the situation was unfavorable and was afraid, so he asked for a chance to turn the tables.

"I can't tell that this guy has some knowledge." Zong Cheng smiled proudly. "I thought he was fearless."

Lou Gui also felt much more relaxed and said in an admirational tone: "After all, he is a child and his mind is not stable. In fact, at his age, it is no longer easy to do this."

Zong Cheng sneered: "After all, they are unsavvy pariahs. Zibo, do you still think we have no chance of winning?"

"After saying this, we are somewhat sure. If all the families can gather nearly 20,000 people and join forces with Chen Yu and others, we will have a great confidence in winning."

Lou Gui and Zong Cheng were very excited. The opportunity came. As long as they could unite the aristocratic families in the surrounding counties, they could gather at least 10,000 people, or even 20,000 people, to help Sun Ce, Sun Cesheng, Chen Yu and Chen Yusheng. Who else dared to compete with them at this time? Maybe they would take the initiative to come to the door to make peace without them speaking.

The two of them were excited, but Zhang Zhongjing's heart continued to sink. They were only concerned about regaining their own property, but they forgot the Xiliang people that might appear at any time. Less than a year passed in the tragedy in Yingchuan, and they forgot them all. Could it be that as Sun Ce said, they had to wait until the Xiliang people's horse hooves trampled on Nanyang before they knew that they regretted it?

Zhang Zhongjing couldn't help but reminded him, but was refuted by Zong Cheng and Lou Gui in unison. Wuguan was guarded by Qiao Rui, and one man was the pass, and ten thousand men could not open it. Even if the troops from Xiliang were at the pass, there was nothing to do. Besides, the Liang Guoqiao family was also from a noble family. Can they have the same heart as Sun Ce? If they defeated Sun Ce, they would send people to reinforce Wuguan. If they were not sure about such a good opportunity, they would shake hands with Sun Ce? They would be raising tigers and would definitely regret it in the future.

Zhang Zhongjing was speechless. He couldn't figure out what to do. After all, he was just a doctor with excellent medical skills, but his power and strategy were not his strengths. Zong Cheng was a famous scholar, and Lou Gui also had experience in using military forces. Both of them thought it was feasible, at least they wouldn't be sure at all.

At this moment, someone came to report outside the door and Chen Yu came to visit.

Zong Cheng and Lou Gui exchanged glances and smiled knowingly.
