So after listening to Zhang Liao's words, some people thought about it a little carefully, and it really made sense.

I have to admit that what Zhang Liao said is really like that. You said that now that you are on the battlefield of Qichun in Jiangxia, you really have no achievements, so if you continue, if you don't have a clever plan, it is likely that it will be basically difficult to capture Qichun. So in this case, it is better to go to Xiangyang and then talk about Qichun's affairs.

It can be said that those who have such thoughts are basically Liu Bei's subordinates, after all, if Xiangyang is really captured by the coalition forces, according to the previous agreement between the two sides, it will still belong to Liu Bei's side in the end. Of course, there are several Sun Ce's subordinates who also have such thoughts, and these are all people who are particularly aware of the overall situation, and they will not be blinded by the small profits in front of them. A Xiangyang, even if it is given to Liu Bei, is actually nothing to his own side, but this alliance must be maintained well.

After all, it's still the same thing, the so-called "cooperation is two benefits, and division is two harms", if you don't unite together, how to fight the Liangzhou army, how to deal with the Yanzhou army? Now they have all been united, but they still haven't been able to win Qichun, which has to explain the problem-

Although Liu Bei was grateful to Zhang Liao for speaking outright, on the surface, he didn't show anything, and at this time, Sun Ce didn't ask him anything, nor did he pay too much attention to him. Because Sun Ce also has his own plans, he is weighing the pros and cons of this.

Suddenly, he glanced at Xu Sheng. Then he smiled, "Wen Xiang, how about you say a few words?" What do you think about Cao Mengde's southward journey? ”

Although Xu Sheng is not too old, he can be said to be a young general, and the time he has joined the Jiangdong Army is not very long, but to be honest. He is indeed deeply respected by his lord, that is, Sun Ce. In Sun Ce's view, Xu Sheng and Xu Wenxiang. That is the future general of the Jiangdong Army, his talent, and his ability. Not bad. Therefore, such a talent should be worth cultivating.

If it weren't for the fact that he brought a lot of people to Jingzhou, he would definitely have brought him with him, but unfortunately, almost everyone wanted to come, so the number of places was limited, but he couldn't come here. However, when Zhang Liao came to Jingzhou, he brought him. That's a good thing, and I just happen to think the same way-

Xu Sheng listened. I really didn't expect that my lord called Zhou Yu and then Zhang Liao before, and at this time he actually called himself.

To be honest, with Xu Sheng's mind, of course he knew some of his lord's thoughts. His father-in-law was the first to be called Zhou Yu, because Mr. Gong Jin is the only strategist and military advisor in his own big tent now, and he is still the kind of top strategist who is not very powerful. Therefore, in terms of countermeasures against Qi Chun, it is natural to ask him first, in case he has any clever plans, then he may not need to do this anymore, and he can directly take Qi Chun.

It's a pity that things still turn out like this, and there is nothing he can do.

And when the Tanmalay newspaper said that Cao Mengde had led his troops south, his lord once again asked everyone to express their opinions, but the first person to call at this time was Zhang Liao.

And his lord's name is Zhang Liao, of course, he will definitely not have no intentions, but his meaning is actually obvious-

Yes, if you want to say where it is obviously, in fact, if you think about it, it is not difficult to understand the way.

What I want to talk about is Zhang Liao's identity, mainly because of this, so I let my lord name him early. ‘

And the purpose and intention of my lord are actually really simple, that is, first, is to tell you Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, and I also tell everyone that I, Sun Ce and Sun Bofu, value you Zhang Wenyuan, so I let you speak. Yes, isn't it, if you don't value a person, then will you still use him, will you ask him anything on such a critical occasion?

If that's the case, his lord will never ask a person he doesn't value, and for the person he doesn't like, what is the other party's thoughts, opinions, and what's the big deal, hehe, it's really nothing.

Therefore, the first purpose of my lord is to say, to tell Zhang Liao, and also to tell everyone that my Sun Bofu is the weapon of Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, so naturally let him speak first. And what he said, I also attach importance to it, because I value him, of course, he is also capable, enough for me to pay attention to the weight! ——

Of course, indeed, if you really don't have any ability, it is impossible for your lord to pay attention to it. So from one side, Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan are also a person with real skills, which is right.

Then the second purpose is also the meaning of my lord, that is, haven't you Zhang Liao always worshiped me as the lord, then I want you to speak and see what you think. You can't be without ideas, so as long as you say it, then it can be regarded as a contribution to our army. You can not worship my grandson as the lord, but you also have to do your best for yourself.

So this second purpose, my lord should think like this, even if you don't worship me as the lord, but you Zhang Wenyuan must remember to contribute to our army.

It is not unreasonable to say that Sun Ce values Xu Sheng, in such a short period of time, Xu Sheng can think of so much, it can be said that he must have good skills, or else. And these are Xu Sheng's thoughts, and now that his lord has called him, he has to be a little flattered-

Yes, Xu Sheng had to do this. Look at who your lord named before. Zhou Yu, what kind of person is that, Zhang Liao. Who is that? And then this called himself again, and it really made him a little excited in his heart.

Because what this shows is the same as explaining that his lord values himself, otherwise why let himself speak. Xu Sheng is not such a narcissistic person, but at this time, he has to say. That's what he thinks at the moment. And what he thought,. It's really true, whether Sun Ce was called Zhang Liao before. Or ask him to talk, he thinks it's all right. It's no wonder that Sun Ce values him, if Xu Sheng doesn't have any ability, can he still make so many people value him.

Xu Sheng didn't dare to slack off at this time. said to his lord. "Lord, everyone, now that Cao Mengde has led his troops south, then my coalition army naturally has to think clearly about how to make my coalition army achieve more and greater benefits!"

When they heard this, they rolled their eyes in their hearts, and they said in their hearts, "Shouldn't this be said by their own lord?" Why did you Xu Wenxiang say it first? ——

Of course, no one thinks that it has to be their own lord to say this. And Xu Sheng can't say. It's just that now when they hear Xu Sheng say it, they said in their hearts, isn't this nonsense, I still need you to say it. If Sun Ce said this, everyone would basically not think so, but when someone changes, it changes.

However, everyone still listened to what Xu Sheng said to see what he had to say. As for Sun Ce, after listening to Xu Sheng's words, he just smiled, but he didn't say anything more about this, he also listened quietly, and saw what Xu Sheng had to say after that. Of course, he knew that Xu Sheng's words were still there, so he was really not in such a hurry.

I heard Xu Sheng is continued, "But how can I make the alliance more and greater benefits?" This must be what you are thinking about now! ”

When everyone heard this, they said in their hearts that you said another nonsense, isn't that what you and others think now, but you should talk about it, what should you do? ——

Zhou Tai, who was not far from him, listened to Xu Sheng's two sentences, he couldn't help it anymore, and said directly, "I said Wen Xiang, you are so unhappy, why don't you finish the words directly, you are too ......."

Jiang Qin, who was next to him, hurriedly grabbed Zhou Tai and gave him a look, but Zhou Tai didn't see it. The last one was Jiang Qin and said in a low voice, "Youping, the lord and the Xuande prince are here, what do you mean?" ”

When Zhou Tai heard this, he said in his heart that he was so happy that he forgot that his lord and that Liu Xuande were still in the big tent. If you want to say that only the words of your own lord, it is almost a little, but that Liu Bei and Liu Xuande can be said to be their own guests, and they are like this, this is too rude.

Thinking of this, Zhou Tai hurriedly stood up and arched his hand, and said to his lord and Liu Xuande, "Lord, his subordinates are rude, Xuande Gong, Zhou is a mistake!" ”

Sun Ce was expressionless, but he glanced at Liu Bei, and Liu Bei understood in his heart that Sun Ce was letting himself deal with it-

Let yourself handle it? Looking at Sun Ce, it seems to be quite polite, but in fact, it is definitely not the case. To say that others may not know very well, but Liu Bei, who is next to him, still doesn't know what to do. Sun Ce meant to let himself speak, but in fact, he was not protecting his shortcomings. After all, his subordinates are rude, he, who is the lord, is not easy to say anything at this time, but he is a guest who is good to speak, Sun Ce let himself speak, but why not let himself say it to understand Zhou Tai and Zhou Youping, he can still be unclear.

In fact, Liu Bei really doesn't care much about this, and Liu Bei still appreciates Zhou Taiqi's character. The eldest husband should be like this, standing up to the sky, as for whether it is rude or not, this is a trivial matter, and I don't pay much attention to this, so it's not a big deal at all.

So I heard Liu Bei say, "Uh." General Youping is a true temperament, it doesn't matter, hehe. It's okay, let's listen to what General Wen said, I don't know what you think, what does General Sun think? ”

After the last moment, Liu Bei kicked the ball to Sun Ce again, and said in his heart, Don't you Sun Bofu let yourself speak, you have finished speaking, but you, the lord, can't stay out of it. After all, the one who is rude is your right-hand man—

As soon as Sun Ce heard what Liu Bei said, he said in his heart, you Liu Xuande is indeed slippery enough. It's a cunning old man. But since you're asking me to speak, of course I can't just sit there like that.

So I heard Sun Ce say to Zhou Tai, "Youping, although Xuande Gong forgives you for your rudeness this time. But there is no escaping responsibility. A fine of one month as a punishment! ”

"No! Thank you, Lord! Thank you Xuande Gong! ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he just smiled, and it was useless to say more at this time. After all, people are Sun Ce's subordinates, so if they are wrong, they will be rewarded and punished by Sun Ce, and what is he? Just say a few words to yourself when it's time to speak. Then that's it. As for the rest, just listen to it yourself. Even if the two sides are now in an alliance. and formed the Sun-Liu coalition army, but for the Jiangdong army, he was an outsider after all.

Similarly, for their own side, Sun Ce and them are also outsiders, they are all the same, aren't they-

Sun Ce, the most embarrassed queen, said to Liu Bei, "How does Xuande Gong see this treatment? ”

Liu Bei rolled his eyes in his heart, and said in his heart that your Sun Bofu has been dealt with, and let me say something. Can you change the punishment if I don't agree?

But he didn't care about this, so he said, "The Jiangdong Army is strict in governing the army, but it has long been heard." When I saw it today, it really deserved its name! ”

Sun Ce laughed without smiling, although listening to Liu Bei's words, it seemed to be a compliment, but listening carefully, it was not difficult to find that in fact, Liu Bei's words were inevitably a little more sarcastic. Of course, this won't be so obvious, but it can't change that Liu Bei does have this meaning in it.

But everyone understands the two of them, they just don't say much, even if they are tacit.

The last two looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent-

And after this little episode passed, Zhou Tai, who was covered with sweat, sat down, and only then did he remember to wipe his face. To be honest, he is really not afraid of Liu Bei, but for his lord, he is really afraid, don't look at him as an old person, but in the face of his own lord, who is much younger than him, he is still a little afraid.

To say that Sun Ce has been the lord for so many years, he does have the momentum of a superior person, and in modern terms, his aura is strong, don't look at his age, he may be younger than most of his subordinates, but this has nothing to do with age, so Sun Ce does make many of his subordinates afraid. Of course, this fear doesn't mean that kind of fear, but he just doesn't want to face his lord like that, so when Zhou Tai saw his lord's expressionless face before, he was really beating a drum in his heart, and he had no bottom.

But now it's okay, at least Zhou Tai knows it in his heart, and he understands it very well, his lord is facing himself after all, as for Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, what kind of bird is he. His lord is so partial to himself, even he Liu Bei and Liu Xuande don't dare to say anything, so look at it, he is nothing more than a month less than a month's salary, and nothing else is different-

I have to say that Sun Ce succeeded in buying Zhou Tai. If it weren't for why Sun Ce was biased towards his own side, of course, as the lord and leader of the Jiangdong Army, it would be impossible for him not to be oriented towards his own people. But there is the most important point, that is, in order not to let his subordinates feel cold, in order to be able to buy Zhou Tai's heart, in order to win over his subordinates, he must do this.

And after looking at Zhou Tai's thoughts, he had to say that Sun Ce succeeded, and his other subordinates, seeing that their lord loved their own people so much, of course, they had to serve their lives even more. As for other ideas, it's useless to think too much, anyway, what your lord is doing, this is really real.

After Zhou Tai sat down, he listened to Sun Ce say, "Okay, Wen Xiang hasn't spoken for a while, let's listen carefully, what is he going to say, how?" ”

"No!"

Everyone said in unison, whether it was Sun Ce's subordinates or Liu Bei's subordinates, it was the same-

At this time, Sun Ce nodded to Xu Sheng, "Wen Xiang, go on!" ”

"No! Lord, the meaning of the subordinates is actually simple, now our army is in Jiangxia, and the war is blocked in Qichun, so why not change places, so the meaning of the subordinates is the same as that of General Wenyuan, they are all sent to Xiangyang to fight against the Yanzhou army. And the advantage of this for our army is that at least the Xiangyang Yanzhou Army is not as much as the Qichun Liangzhou Army, and the combat power is definitely not as strong as the Liangzhou Army, so even if Xiangyang City is a high wall, it still can't stop our coalition army from attacking!! ”

Hearing Xu Sheng's words of such confidence and confidence, Sun Ce nodded with a smile, and Liu Bei on the side, if it weren't for such an important matter being discussed in the big tent now, if there weren't so many people, it was estimated that he would have to give Xu Sheng a hug.

I have to say that in Liu Bei's eyes now, Zhang Liao and Xu Sheng are the loveliest people. Yes, for Liu Bei, whoever is in favor of sending troops to Xiangyang is the cutest person. Obviously, Zhang Liao and Xu Sheng are. And he also has to say, putting aside his subjective thoughts, let's not talk about things that are linked to his own interests, let's just say that the vision of these two people and the ideas of the two people, in terms of Jiangdong Army, definitely belong to the front-

And Liu Bei also understood at this time, Sun Ce first called Zhang Liao, and then Xu Sheng before what he wanted. It turns out that the skills of the two of them are indeed good, of course, Zhang Liao needless to say, Liu Bei already knew it, and he actually understood Sun Ce's other intentions.

As for letting Xu Sheng speak, it is indeed his person who is influenced by Sun Ce, of course, his ability is also good.

However, Liu Bei thought about it again, Sun Ce called two people in a row, and they all said that they were going to send troops to Xiangyang, so could it be that Sun Bofu meant......

If that's the case, then it's really good, after all, I also want the coalition army to go to Xiangyang, but it's been discussed before, capture Jiangxia first, and then talk about Xiangyang. But now that the situation has changed, it's not that you can't go to Xiangyang first.

Moreover, Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan, and Xu Sheng and Xu Wenxiang all supported the dispatch of troops to Xiangyang. Of course, Liu Bei didn't forget, no matter what his subordinates said, even if it was a mess, the most embarrassing thing had to be Sun Ce and himself-

Of course, he agreed, so the last obstacle was actually only him, Sun Ce, and Sun Bofu.

It can be said that as long as he, Sun Ce, wants to enter Xiangyang, then it will be fine, if he does not agree. There's really nothing you can do about it. Thinking of this, Liu Bei frowned slightly, but he immediately relaxed. For him, his expression was not good for others to see, especially Sun Ce and his Sun Bofu's subordinates.

After Sun Ce listened to Xu Sheng's words, he smiled and nodded at him, but he didn't express any opinions, so everyone was a little confused, and they didn't know what he was thinking about as a "little overlord". However, in the eyes of everyone, he should also be biased towards sending troops to Xiangyang, otherwise why would he be smiling all the time. Of course, this smile is true and fake, and it is indeed difficult to distinguish between true and false, after all, you can't be sure whether the smile of the superior is real or fake.
