"In Xia Sun Ce (Zhou Yu), I have seen two generals."

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu bowed down and clasped their fists at the same time, saluting Liu Ping and Cao Ang.

"General Sun, General Zhou doesn't need to be polite, I have admired the two big names for a long time, and it is really a blessing to meet each other this time."

Cao Ang greeted politely, "Please take a seat." ”

"The general is polite," Sun Ce and Zhou Yu glanced at each other, a slightly embarrassed look on their faces.

The two of them had just pacified several counties in Jiangdong at this time, and they did not have many outstanding achievements, and they were far from being as famous as they were later, but what made them famous in the world was their physical appearance.

But as a horse general, who wants to eat with his face?

After sitting down, Cao Ang looked at the two of them again, and said angrily: "I heard that Wuzhong Sun Lang Zhou Lang has an extraordinary appearance and a talent of Yiqun, but when I saw it today, it was really the case." ”

Sun Ce hurriedly shook his head and said: "General Cao said that he laughed, the eldest husband established the world, and he should take it as his responsibility to pacify the world and establish immortal achievements, as for the appearance, it is just a trivial matter."

General Cao and General Liu are young and promising, which is truly admirable. ”

"That's right," Zhou Yu also said beside him: "General Xu Zi of Runan has made a tasting of the world's young talents, and I and Bo Fu have always been at the top of the list, and I heard that now General Cao and General Liu have won the championship, far surpassing the two of us." ”

Xu Xun is a well-known critic in the world, and Cao Cao's "capable minister who governs the world, and a hero in troubled times" comes from this person's mouth.

At the same time that Xu Xun evaluated the heroes of the world, he evaluated the young heroes of the world separately.

Previously, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu defeated Yan Baihu and Liu Yao under Yuan Shu, and pacified the land of Jiangdong, which can be described as the world's top young talent twin stars, and no one can compete with them.

But since Liu Ping arrived in Yanzhou, the direction of the wind has changed.

Liu Ping led the army to capture Lü Bu, conquered Pengcheng, defeated Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, beheaded Li Dao on the bank of the Yellow River, killed Han Xian in Luoyang City, and later pacified Wancheng, captured Zhang Xiu, the king of guns in the north, and now took Runan.

There is no need for Xu Xun to evaluate such a feat, and anyone with a discerning eye in the world can see that each of these piles has to overshadow Yan Baihu Liu Yao, who was defeated by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

Moreover, now what Sun Ce wants to seek is only a general of the Ming and Han dynasties, Zhou Yu's official position is just Yuan Shufeng's central protector, and Liu Ping is already a general of Pingxi, Pingling Tinghou, Dasi Nong, Guanglu Siqing, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, who are pressed by this official position alone, can't raise his head.

Liu Ping will more or less pull Cao Ang when he makes these contributions, so Xu Xun has almost no suspense when evaluating the world's young talents, Liu Ping Cao Ang is naturally the world's first twin stars.

"How can such a thing be? In Xudu, he has never heard of it, "Cao Ang's eyes were shining, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if it wasn't for Liu Ping, this guy came to Yanzhou, how could he have such a scenery?"

Although this is a false name, he is a young man with strong blood after all, who doesn't want to listen to others praise him?

"Brother Xian, have you heard of it?"

"It's the first time I've heard of it, and I'm afraid that Xu Zijiang is a false praise," Liu Ping smiled and shook his head, he originally wanted to live in the troubled times, but he didn't expect to accidentally have such a big reputation, and he also overpowered Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

"General Liu lives above the temple, and all the people he contacts are important members of the minister, so naturally he doesn't know these folk dramas," Sun Ce was extremely envious of Liu Ping's official position.

"In the matter entrusted to you, I hope that General Liu will take care of it."

"General Sun, rest assured, the edict of the Son of Heaven is coming soon, and the general will get his wish," Liu Ping said smugly.

"Thank you!" Sun Ce arched his hand.

At this time, a personal soldier suddenly came in and said: "The eldest prince, the prince of Ping, the envoy of Yuan Shu asks to see." ”

"Call in!" Cao Ang raised his hand in high spirits.

Not long after, a middle-aged man entered the tent and said to Cao Ang: "Meet the general, my lord is willing to remove the emperor's title and ask for surrender, and I hope the general will agree." ”

Cao Ang's face was expressionless and he glanced at Liu Ping.

Liu Ping said lightly: "If you want to surrender, you need to show sincerity and let Yuan Shu hand over the jade seal of the country first." ”

"That is nature," said the messenger, "and tomorrow, my lord will present the jade seal with his own hands." ”

"Well, we'll wait tomorrow."

Liu Ping waved his hand and told the envoy to step back.

"Could this be Yuan Shu's plan to delay the army?" At this time, Zhou Yu said suddenly.

Zhou Yu is also a resourceful person, and he naturally looks at things far from being comparable.

"Even if it's a delaying tactic, it doesn't matter," Liu Ping said: "Now that Yuan Shu's soldiers have been killed for us, how long can he drag it out?"

What's more, neither of you and I have brought siege equipment, so I am afraid that we will not be able to storm the city. ”

Several people pondered for a moment, and all nodded slightly, expressing deep agreement.

Although they have an absolute advantage in terms of troops, they can't attack the city after all, and when they mobilize siege equipment from the rear, they will go down for ten days and a half months, so it is better to accept Yuan Shu's surrender and see what tricks Yuan Shu can play.

At this time, Sun Ce suddenly said: "General Liu, there is a reluctant request below.

The jade seal of the country was lost in the hands of the next, can it be surrendered tomorrow, and then the jade seal will be presented to His Majesty, so that the general will atone for his sins. ”

At the beginning, the jade seal of the country was dedicated to Yuan Shu to borrow troops from Yuan Shu, which led to the later pacification of Jiangdong.

Now whoever can return the jade seal to the emperor will have the greatest credit in front of the emperor, after all, they belong to the two forces, and there is no mutual humility in this credit.

Speaking of the Battle of Shouchun alone, their Sun clan killed far more rebels than the Cao clan, and it is also said that they accepted Yuan Shu's surrender.

As long as the jade seal is returned, he will not be satisfied with the military position of General Ming and Han, at least he will have to ask for a general Zhengdong.

But he also knew that Liu Ping and Cao Ang, as the Cao clan's forces, could give up their great achievements so easily?

At this time, Zhou Yu saw Liu Ping bowing his head and was silent, and he also echoed beside him: "As long as the general asks me to wait for surrender, we will return to Jiangdong after offering the jade seal, and we will never compete with the Cao family." ”

If Yuan Shu surrenders, Yuan Lian, who is guarding Yangzhou, only has more than 10,000 troops and horses, and they are also placed in various counties, so it is natural for the Cao family to take what they want.

In fact, Zhou Yu did not say it explicitly, Sun Ce's subordinates were only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and when he pacified Jiangdong, he encountered a rebellion from the Shi clan led by Gu Lu Zhu Zhang in the territory, and Sun Ce had to kill to suppress the rebels.

In this way, the Sun family has lost the support of the people in Jiangdong, and it is really unable to take Yangzhou again, so Zhou Yu just did this favor.

At this time, Cao Ang's face suddenly looked bad, before they set out on the expedition, the emperor had personally told him to let him bring back the jade seal, but if Sun Ce offered back the jade seal, his credit would be greatly reduced.

Cao's main opponent at this time was Yuan Shao in the north, and as for whether to take Yangzhou or not, he couldn't care about it for the time being.

"Does General Sun want to fight with me about this surrender?" Cao Ang asked with displeasure on his face.
