However, although Ma Chao had already decided to enter Changsha, after some rhetoric from everyone, in the end he did not recruit in person, but let Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei go.

As for why he didn't personally lead the troops to go, the first Ma Chao also knew that the more important thing now was to deal with Cao Cao and their tripartite alliance, although there was no news about it now, but Guo Jia's analysis was not wrong. Therefore, it is impossible for him not to take precautions, and when they really unite to attack Jiangxia, he can increase the confidence of his soldiers in Jiangxia.

Besides, it's not that if they can attack themselves, why can't they take the initiative, in fact, if you think about it carefully, this is not impossible.

As for the second one, it is because of the persuasion of the subordinates, of course, they also have their ideas, and this is multifaceted, for many reasons. But no matter what it is, there is one thing, Ma Chao is very clear, that is, everyone under his subordinates also wants to show a good attitude. Although he personally led the troops, it was not impossible to show Xiàn, but if they led the troops, the credit would be greater.

So based on the above reasons, and Ma Chao really thinks that it doesn't matter if he goes to Changsha or not, so he didn't personally lead the troops there, but let Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei go.

As for why the two of them went, of course, Ma Chao also had his plans. First, whether it is Huang Zhong or Zhang Fei's ability. Ma Chao knew in his heart that it was enough for them to lead the troops to Changsha. Second. It is Huang Zhong's familiarity with Changsha, so he went, and it can be said that it will be more beneficial to himself. Third, he really wanted to reuse Huang Zhongqi, so he let him and Zhang Fei go.

As for saying that Zhang Fei doesn't like to lead troops and siege cities, then he can't help this. It's impossible to give you all the good things, so in Ma Chao's opinion. He was allowed to defend the city before, so this time he went back to attack the city, it was better to let him go. But this time he is not the main general. And Huang Zhong is, and he is just assisting Huang Zhong.

The arrangements have already been made here, and for the Sun-Liu coalition army and Cao Cao's Yanzhou army, before the specific news comes. Ma Chao will never act rashly in Jiangxia. At least this time for him. He will definitely not go to Nanjun or Wuling, he will not move for the time being, unless Sun Ce, Liu Bei and Cao Cao have a big move, or he has an excellent opportunity, or he will not make a move for the time being-

Sun Ce and Liu Bei captured Xiangyang, but they were still not satisfied, but they were rescued by Yanzhou army reinforcements. Later, they also knew that it was Xu Huang who came with troops from Hanzhong. This made his own side suffer a dark loss.

To be honest, this matter was indeed not something they could have expected, after all, who knew that Xu Huang would still be able to come from Hanzhong. So whether it was Sun Ce or Liu Bei, they didn't think much about it. It's just their own carelessness, but this has to make them think more. After all, although it was night, their own preparedness was poor, so there were so many soldiers than Xu Huang who were still slaughtered by the family, which made Sun Ce and Liu Bei a little unacceptable.

So therefore, the two of them reprimanded their own soldiers, no way, they thought that because the recent war was too smooth, so their own soldiers were a little slack, or if it wasn't for the particularly tense situation, their own soldiers would never be like this. So the two of them reprimanded their own soldiers, and this was the end.

And whether it was Sun Ce's Jiangdong sergeant or Liu Bei's sergeant, after listening to his lord's reprimand, although he didn't like to listen to it in his heart, he still had to listen well. But what his lord said is really reasonable. But these people are good, as for the most unlucky people, of course, they have already died in the battle of Xu Huang's sneak attack-

A day later, Sun Ce was chatting with Zhou Yu, when the soldier came to report, "Report to the lord, someone outside the mansion asks to see him, claiming to be the head of the Cai family!" ”

When Sun Ce heard this, he glanced at Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Lord, good things are coming!" ”

Sun Ce raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said, "What does Gong Jin mean? ”

Zhou Yu nodded, and then said: "The lord invited Liu Xuande to come too, after all, it is still a union between the two sides." ”

Sun Ce nodded, and then said to the soldier, "Please let him in!" By the way, invite Liu Xuande! ”

"No!"

The soldiers retreated, and only then did Zhou Yu say to Sun Ce, "My lord, the head of the Cai family is here today, and he must have the intention of uniting and supporting our army!" ”

Sun Ce also thought so, but he asked puzzledly, "Gong Jin, then Cai Mao died in the hands of Liu Xuande, this, can the other party really cooperate with us?" ”――

Zhou Yu shook his head with a smile, he said in his heart at this time, Lord Lord, Lord Lord, you are not the son of those big families, and you still can't understand their thoughts after all.

Indeed, strictly speaking, Sun Ce's background can only be said to be heroic, and people from the big family actually look at each other unpleasantly. As for other things, Sun Ce didn't know anything about them, but he didn't think of them at this time. As for Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu has much more experience than Sun Ce after all, and what he has seen and heard is also more than Sun Ce.

And I heard Zhou Yu say at this time, "Lord, it is good to say that Cai Mao, the previous head of the Cai family, did die in the hands of Liu Xuande, but if it wasn't for him Cai Mao who died in the hands of Liu Xuande, then how could Cai Xun, the head of his Cai family, be able to do this position of head of the family?" ”

When Sun Ce heard it, he was right. Isn't that what it is? If Cai Mao didn't die, how could he Cai Xun become the head of this family, so if he really said so. He also has to thank Liu Bei-

But Sun Ce thought about it again, this is not right, the previous head of his Cai family is dead, so they don't care about this matter, right?

Zhou Yu seemed to see his lord's doubts, and he said, "Lord, please think, in a family." But not everyone has the same mind, and it is impossible for everyone to think the same! Besides, what happened in Quanling City at the beginning. Everyone in the world knows that Liu Xuande let Cai Mao go, but as for Cai Mao's death, it was in the hands of bandits! What evidence is there that he Liu Xuande did it? Even people in the world think that Liu Xuande did it. But who has the proof to prove this? ”

Sun Ce listened. smiled, "This is true, if it is not Gongjin, I still can't figure it out!" ”

When Sun Ce heard this, he said in his heart, isn't it? Not to mention a family member, even if it is a husband and wife, don't you have the same bed and different dreams, don't you need to talk about other people. Closer. Let's just say that he and him Liu Bei have already formed an alliance now. They have all joined forces, but on the surface, although the two sides get along okay and not bad, but in fact, after all, they can't really be without suspicion or defense, so this is really like what Zhou Yu said-

Zhou Yu knew that his father-in-law understood, in fact, he also knew that his father-in-law understood this, but he just didn't think of this.

Not long after Sun Ce's voice fell, Liu Bei had already arrived, and after seeing Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, Sun Ce hurriedly gave up his seat, and Liu Bei sat down.

He just wanted to ask Sun Ce what he was looking for, but he saw that someone was coming again, and it was naturally Cai Xun, the head of the Cai family.

Cai Xun, like Cai Mao, is a member of the Jingzhou Army, but Cai Xun is a fast runner, so he didn't follow Cai Mao at all, but ran back to the family early, so Cai Mao died, but he didn't have anything. When Cai Mao arrived, the head of the Cai family would fall into his hands, and he had already been the head of the family for a long time, but Cai Mao was there, so he didn't dare. But now that Cai Mao is dead, he is no longer afraid of anything.

Jingzhou is in turmoil, he has been watching all along, knowing that the Sun and Liu coalition forces are besieging Xiangyang, he knows that his opportunity has come, he should have come to talk to Sun Ce and Liu Bei-

As for saying that Cai Mao died in the hands of Liu Bei, this is not a big deal at all. At least that's the case with Cai Xun. Just like Zhou Yu said, if Cai Mao didn't die, could he Cai Xun become the head of the family now. So not to mention, he is actually a little grateful to Liu Bei in his heart, and it is indeed like what Zhou Yu said, there is no evidence to prove that Liu Bei killed Cai Mao, so even if someone in the Cai family has a great opinion of Liu Bei, it will not affect Cai Xun's decision.

At this time, Cai Xun had already entered the house and saw that there were a total of three people in the house, needless to say, the two people opposite him, who looked heroic and martial, and had the demeanor of a general, were naturally the "Jiangdong Little Overlord", Sun Ce and Sun Bofu. And the one with bigger ears and a very kind and honest face is Liu Bei Liu Xuande, of course, Cai Xun has seen Liu Bei in Jiangling before, so of course he will not forget his appearance.

As for the one next to him, the person dressed as a scribe, with a face like a crown of jade, and a handsome appearance, must be "Jiangdong Mei Zhou Lang" Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin. He is also heroic, after all, he is a real person who is both civil and military, and he is also the number one person in the world.

Cai Xun didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly gave a salute to Sun Ce and Liu Bei, "I've seen General Sun, Uncle Liu Huang!" ”

Then he also bowed his hand to Zhou Yu next to him, "I've seen Mr. Gongjin!" ”

Cai Xun is the head of a big family, so it's not bad. And Sun Ce was satisfied, after all, Cai Xun greeted him first as soon as he came. He also knows who is talking here, as for Liu Xuande, his strength is not as good as his own. That can only be said in the next sentence.

Sun Ce smiled, "Master Cai, please!" ”

Liu Bei also smiled, "The head of the family, please!" ”

As for Zhou Yu, he didn't say anything, but after all, Cai Xun was the head of the Cai family, and he also visited him and specially greeted him, so Zhou Yu smiled and nodded. It can be said that this time also made Cai Xun a little flattered. After all, he knew that Zhou Yu was definitely an arrogant person, so he could let him be like this. I did what I did to satisfy him, or it would never be like this-

If you want to talk about Zhou Yu, Cai Xun knows a little, although he is not a narrow-minded person. But he is definitely a relatively arrogant person. Of course. Generally speaking, people who have the ability must have a little bit of their own personality, and Zhou Gongjin will definitely be no exception. Therefore, Zhou Yu was like this, which made Cai Xun feel flattered, and he was more shocked than Sun Ce and Liu Bei's words to him.

"Thank you both!"

After thanking Sun Ce and Liu Bei, Cai Xun sat down, and at this time, Sun Ce asked, "The Cai family is here today. I don't know what happened? ”

Sun Ce wasn't going to beat around the bush with Cai Xun, so he just asked straight away. Although he listened to Zhou Yu's words and thought that Cai Xun's coming was not a bad thing, he still had to ask what he was doing. Although Sun Ce also felt that Cai Xun came here in order to unite with him, but after all, the other party hadn't admitted it yet, so this matter couldn't be determined at once-

Cai Xun smiled, and said to Sun Ce and Liu Bei, "Today, General Sun and Uncle Liu Huang's alliance army attacked Xiangyang, and I came here on purpose to treat the soldiers of the coalition army, and brought some things, which is not a tribute!" ”

When Sun Ce heard this, he was overjoyed, it was really a good thing, and he sent something. Even if Cai Mao is dead, but with the financial resources of the Cai family, the things taken out will definitely not be too shabby, or they will not be able to take it at all, which will make people laugh.

So even if Cai Xun didn't say how many things there were, whether it was Sun Ce or Liu Bei, including Zhou Yu, they all knew that there would be no too few things, so this was really a good thing.

Sun Ce hurriedly said, "This, the head of the Cai family is polite, polite!" ”

Cai Xun said, "This is all as it should be, as it should be!" I hope you don't dislike it! ”

Sun Ce smiled secretly in his heart, and said in his heart that he didn't dislike it, of course he didn't dislike it, the more this must be, the better! If you Cai Xun come a few more times, then your own supplies may not be lacking, but they will be very sufficient.

At this time, Liu Bei smiled bitterly in his heart, and said that he was the same as a person who had nothing to do. Basically, Sun Ce and Cai Xun said where they were, although Cai Xun also mentioned himself, but no one can see that he is mainly based on Sun Ce, and he is just piggybacking.

In fact, when he first heard that Cai Xun was the head of the Cai family, Liu Bei was also surprised. After all, he really didn't expect that Sun Ce called him here just to meet the head of the Cai family. And because of the reason why he killed Cai Mao, Liu Bei was actually a little resistant to the Cai family.

However, Liu Bei is experienced after all, so Sun Ce has a lot more of this, so after thinking about it for a while, he understands why Cai Xun came here. It has nothing to do with killing Cai Mao himself. Besides, if he didn't have his own actions, would he Cai Xun be able to succeed in ascending to the position, so he and he have no conflict of interest. On the contrary, it should be said that he helped him once unintentionally, so he naturally won't do anything to himself.

But apart from giving up his seat before, he never said anything to Cai Xun, but this had to make Liu Bei's heart a little unhappy-

In the final analysis, it is because of strength, and this is the reason that almost makes Cai Xun ignore himself. If his strength was stronger than his Sun Bofu, could he Cai Xun still behave like this. So when Liu Bei thought of this, he also lost his temper, after all, this matter can be regarded as a piece of his heart, so when he thought of it, he didn't think about it anymore, because it was useless.

And just when Liu Bei just didn't think about anything, Sun Ce glanced at Liu Bei, Liu Bei understood, and said in his heart that you, Sun Bofu, finally saw me? But this is for me to ask Cai Xun, this, when I used myself, your Sun Bofu came. If you're useless, you probably won't think of me, right?

I don't want Liu Bei to know, it's useless to think too much, just to take advantage of Sun Bofu's opportunity to ask Cai Xun, and to say a few words to this Cai family head. After all, he didn't come to Xingshi to ask about his guilt because of Cai Mao's matter, so there was nothing he couldn't face. (To be continued......)
