On the outskirts of Yangzhai City, Sun Jian was inspecting the soldiers and setting up camp.

I saw this tiger standing on the edge of the camp with his hands behind his back, his expression was as cold as ice, and on the surface he was urging the soldiers to go back and forth to erect tents, but the light in his eyes flickered and dimmed, as if he was thinking about something.

Behind Sun Jian, a big man strode over and stopped beside Sun Jian.

That man has a stiff face and a plain appearance, he is another Sima under Sun Jian's account, and he is also his most relied on right-hand man - Cheng Pu.

"Why did the lord repeatedly speak out to that Kong Ling today?"

Cheng Pu and Sun Jian had a personal relationship, and he didn't beat around the bush, and directly asked the question that had been hidden in his heart: "No matter what, Kong Ling is also the assassin of Yuzhou who was enshrined by the imperial court, and he is also an ally of our crusade against Dong Zhuo...... As soon as the lord met today, his words and deeds collided, which was quite inconsistent with the usual style...... Isn't there any difficulty? ”

Sun Jian sneered, his laughter was quite ironic, and after a while, he slowly took out a secret letter from his arms and handed it to Cheng Pu: "Look for yourself." ”

Cheng Pu took the brocade silk with the secret written on it suspiciously, unfolded it, and said in surprise after a while: "Duke Yuan wants to be the general of the Emperor and lead the history of Yuzhou?!" Isn't the history of Yuzhou Thorn Kong Ling? What is Yuan Gong's idea? ”

Sun Jian said slowly: "What is the idea of fighting?" Scold! I helped him force Jingzhou assassin Wang Rui to death, and killed Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi for him, and now he has won Nanyang County, and his strength has increased greatly! Jingzhou now has no owner and is in charge of its own affairs, and it is unlikely that it will be controlled by him in the future...... Now in the southeast, Jingzhou and Yangzhou have no major worries, if he can get the land of Yuzhou again, he will achieve his long-cherished wish across the three states...... Who is the opponent of the heroes of the world? ”

Cheng Pu's face showed anger: "Kill Wang Rui and Zhang Zhi, still not satisfied!?" Now you want the lord to kill Kong Ling? All the benefits are his gains, and the sins are all yours! Lord, aren't you worth it? ”

Sun Jian sighed and said helplessly: "The fourth generation and third duke of the Yuan family are famous all over the world!" The respect of the Yuan dynasty in Runan, who can compare with it in the world? Yuan Highway is the second son of Sikong Yuan Feng, who is quite chivalrous...... After the official salutes the general! After a long time, it will become a climate...... I am making a knife in his hand today, just hoping to find a good home, after all, this world, as far as the eye can see, is turbid. ”

Cheng Pu was silent for a while, and then said: "The lord frequently bullied Kong Ling today in order to force him to resist...... Or find a reason to kill him on the spot? ”

A cold light popped out of Sun Jian's eyes, a light like a hungry wolf seeing its prey.

"Originally, Sun Mou thought so, but after seeing the son of the Tao family, he had to give up."

Cheng Pu thought carefully for a while and said, "That kid? I think he is fifteen or sixteen years old, just a yellow-mouthed erection, can he still stand out for Kong Ling? ”

Sun Jian smiled: "What he did today, isn't he always standing up for Kong Ling?" Although most of his words and deeds are humble and forbearing, the purpose is to calm things down...... He didn't even want the military rations and equipment that Kong Ling gave him, and he made it clear that he stood aside with Kong Ling. ”

Cheng Pu stroked his beard and said slowly: "What about standing aside?" I have heard for a long time that Tao Qian in Xuzhou is faint, and the child under his knees is just a rotten person! Are we still afraid that he will not succeed in the Xuzhou army? I heard that the potters had an army of 10,000...... If it is not the last general's boast, there are only 10,000 Xuzhou troops, and the last general only needs 3,000 military horses to kill them cleanly, and no one will be left! ”

Sun Jian turned to look at Cheng Pu, shook his head and said: "Actually, I had the same idea as you at the beginning, that Tao Qian flattered a famous family, and the people he used were all mortal, except for the Danyang Army, how much combat power can the rest of the Xuzhou Army have?" I'm not afraid of him, the Xuzhou army...... It's just that today's look at this son's words and deeds are good, and the second is to see a general standing behind him, similar to me, with a warrior's posture between his gestures, it is by no means easy to with. ”

What Sun Jian said was Xu Chu.

Cheng Pu suddenly realized: "I also noticed the person the lord said...... However, in the huge land of Xuzhou, there are one or two bears and tigers sporadically, which is also reasonable. ”

Sun Jian sighed: "A martial artist, but it is no problem...... However, what I want to deal with is Kong Ling'er, the Xuzhou army can not provoke it, after all, they are all allies, and if they crusade against Dong Zhuo, they must also contribute, we don't need to provoke an enemy out of thin air. ”

Cheng Pu sighed in his heart that this was the case, and then said: "What the lord said is that Yuan Gong wants to dye Yuzhou, and we really don't need to erect Xuzhou Tao as an enemy...... But if you don't do it today, how does the lord plan to do it in the future? ”

Sun Jian smiled gloomily, and his smile was very timid: "Quan and first get him 100,000 stones of grain and grass, and then slowly persecute him, no matter how good his temper is, he must not be able to sit still, and sooner or later there will be a day when he will turn his face with him." ”

*****************************************

Sun Jian pondered Kong Ling outside Yangzhai City, and Kong Ling pondered Sun Jian inside Yangzhai City.

Kong Ling sat on the soft couch, his nostrils were fanning one by one, his face was red and his neck was thick, obviously angry, and the potter looked at him and couldn't hold back his happiness......

Just outside the city, this old boy was like a rabbit cub by Sun Jian, and he would enter the city, and when he couldn't see Sun Jian, his temper was obviously a little up.

"Sun Jian deceives people too much!" Kong Ling gritted her teeth, and the folds on her face seemed to be squeezed together: "Zhuangzian dares to bully me like this?" Relying on Yuan Shu's support, he dares to shout at me! Who am I? The Son of Heaven edict sealed the history of Yuzhou's assassination! When he opened his mouth, he dared to ask me for 100,000 stone grain and grass...... If I don't give it to him, what if he dares to take me? This rebel thief! ”

The potter grinned.

This is really not level, rebellious ministers and thieves...... This word should be used to describe Dong Zhuo, right? What are you when you say your own allies?

Kong Ling complained enough, turned his head to look at the potter, and said, "Sun Jian insulted me like this, according to the meaning of the virtuous nephew, what should I do?" ”

The potter said unhurriedly: "He is very rude, I intend to ask Uncle Shi to send troops to pick him up!" ”

Kong Linghuo is like swallowing a fat fly, and he can't spit it out or swallow it. If he can clean it up, he will have to clean it up a long time ago, but still have to wait?

"That ......" Kong Ling hesitated for a moment and said: "The soldier is also a murder weapon, Sun Jian and I are allies, if there is infighting, these people under him will not be light or heavy, and when the time comes, it will not be worth it to take a few lives." ”

The potter smiled and said: "Uncle Shi's words are quite reasonable, but people don't hurt the tiger, the tiger hurts people's hearts, today's performance of Sun Jian outside the city, the little nephew feels that Sun Jian has killed Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi cares about the feelings of allies, and wants to live peacefully with him, but unfortunately people don't appreciate it." ”

"Nephew Xian thinks Sun Jian wants to kill me?" Kong Ling's face turned pale in an instant: "How did the virtuous nephew see it?" ”

The potter couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, he really felt deep regret for the vision and emotional intelligence of this famous man, and he didn't know how this old boy survived until now.

"Uncle Shi doesn't think Sun Jian's attitude is really very rude? The kind that is pure to find fault? ”

Kong Ling's brows furrowed, and he said, "If he is rude to me, he must be trying to kill me?" The virtuous nephew's words are crooked...... There can be many situations of rudeness, for example, if I owe him money and deliberately do not pay it back, he will be very rude to me. ”

Tao Shang Chang sighed, shook his head and said, "Uncle Shi, believe me, if you owe him money and don't pay it back, Sun Jian's first action when he sees you outside the city today should be to kneel down for you, instead of yelling at you." ”

Kong Ling: "......"

After a long time.

Kong Ling's expression gradually became a little serious: "Why does Sun Jian want to kill me?" ”

Tao Shang said: "Because you are the history of Yingchuan Thorn." ”

"Why do you want to kill me if I'm Yingchuan Assassin Shi Bi?"

Tao Shang said: "Because Yuan Shu is greedy for the land of Yuzhou? ”

"Why does Yuan Shu have to occupy the land of Yuzhou?"

Tao Shang said: "Because Yuzhou is a part of his strategy across Jing, Yang, and Henan, and Runan is the hometown of Yuan Shu, Yuan's influence is great here...... The answer is as simple as that. ”

This simple answer is outrageous.

Kong Ling's hands hidden in the sleeves of his robe were clenched into fists tightly, his joints turned white, and there was a slight 'gaba' crunch sound - he was also an official of the Han Dynasty and a comrade-in-arms of the allied forces who crusaded against Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu was able to deliberately hurt his colleagues so cruelly for his own personal ambitions, which was even worse than a brute.

Of course, when Sun Jian was ordered by Yuan Shu to kill Nanyang Taishou Zhang Shi and Jingzhou Assassin Wang Rui, Kong Ling's feelings about these things were only shocked at best, and his personal feelings towards Yuan Shu were far from the level of anger...... But now that she has become the next lamb to be slaughtered, Kong Ling can't control her emotions.

People are such creatures, they don't have to do with themselves, and once they have to do with themselves, they have to scold their mothers.

"Yuan Shu Sun Jian, he is a real slut!" Kong Ling opened her throat and scolded.

The potter sighed helplessly...... Famous gentlemen were forced to explode foul language, which was a precursor to the collapse of etiquette.

"Virtuous nephew!" Kong Ling suddenly turned his head to look at the potter, and said angrily: "Sun Jian and Yuan Shu want to try me, I just don't do anything, and fight with them to break the net, what do you think?" ”

"I think it's okay, Uncle Shi is really heroic!"

Kong Ling stood up suddenly, strode towards the outside of the hall, and raised his voice as he walked: "I'm going to order troops and fight to the death with Sun Resolute!" ”

The potter took a sip of water, lightly tapped the table with his fingers, and said to himself while tapping: "One, two, three...... Come back! ”

"Virtuous nephew!" Kong Ling stopped suddenly, turned around and changed his face to crying, and said, "Sun Jian's slut, I can't fight him!" ”

"Uncle Shi, come, sit, sit." The pottery merchant stood up, walked over and led the crying Kong Ling back to the kneeling side, held him down and sat down, poured some water into the coffin, and said, "Uncle Shi, just vent and vent, some things can't be too serious......"

Kong Ling took it and drank it all, angry and sad: "They are too bullying!" I think that since I took office, I don't say how good I have done, but I am also conscientious and cautious, hard-working, and I dare not disappoint the court, and I can't bear to deceive the people...... They're good, and they're going to deal with me......"

"The soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, and the little nephew will help Uncle Shi kill these two goods." The potter comforted.

When Kong Ling heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, and the potter outside the city had told him this just now, and he was not serious at that time......

However, at this moment, Kong Ling simply regarded these words as a life-saving edict.

"What's the best plan for the virtuous nephew?"

The pottery merchant smiled and said: "Actually, it's very simple, Yuan Shu thinks that Sun Jian is his knife, use this knife to get rid of the assassin Shi Taishou in various places, this half of the country is his, we only need to reverse three points, the first point is to let Yuan Shu know, even if he gets rid of the assassin Shi Taishou in various places, if he wants to take the southern half of the country, he still lacks strength; The second point is to let him know that Sun Jian, the Jiangdong Tiger he trusts the most, is his real enemy; Third, let him know that we are the people he can best support him right now. ”
