Chapter 106: No Man Can Be Seen
Yuan Shu's hand holding the wine glass stopped in mid-air. He raised his eyelids, stared at Ding Fei for a moment, turned it twice, and suddenly laughed.
"Where's Xu You?"
In an instant, Ding Fei's eyes were a little evasive, and the smugness on his face was unnatural. He looked at him left and right. "General, I've worked hard from afar, and my mouth is dry, can I give me a glass of wine to quench my thirst?"
"Sit!" Yuan Shu motioned for someone to add a table and let Ding Fei take a seat. He was very calm, so calm that Sun Ce couldn't believe his eyes. Is this really Yuan Shu? He was in a trance, and Yuan Shu beckoned again: "Gong Jin, Bo Fu, you also sit, you're welcome." Gong Jin, you see, you really got it right by you. Haha, haha. ”
Zhou Yu smiled slightly, noncommittal, Ding Fei saw it in his eyes, and became more and more uneasy. While drinking, he peeked at Yuan Shu and Sun Ce. Yuan Shu didn't care, drank several glasses in a row, and slammed the wine glass on the case.
"Cao Mengde wants to see Sun Lang, does he dare to see me?"
Ding Fei hesitated for a moment. "If the general wants to see Cao Fujun, I can pass the word on behalf of the general. As for whether to see or not to see, it is up to Cao Fujun to decide. ”
"Really? Then you can help me with a message. Yuan Shu waved his hand and said: "If he doesn't dare to come, I forgive him for not daring to come, you help me tell him that although he has entered Wancheng, don't be too happy." Those heroes are not interested in him, but the concubine of my Yuan family. Even if he occupies Nanyang, he is just changed from Dongjun Taishou to Nanyang Taishou. But if he can't take it, he will become an outcast. ”
He leaned on the desk and looked at Ding Fei with a smile, looking playful. "Did Xu You go to Yingchuan? He is a native of Nanyang, and he can't be Nanyang Taishou, but he can be Yingchuan Taishou. Yingchuan is too well-guarded, Feng Ji and Guo Tu don't look down on him, but he has become their county general, and these families will be unlucky in the future. You say, when I attack Wancheng, will Xu You come to save him Cao Mengde? ”
Ding Fei's brows trembled, a trace of uneasiness flashed from his eyes, and then he laughed and raised his thumb. "The general is so courageous, it's time to sow discord, and he doesn't forget to sow discord, which is worthy of the famous Yuan Changshui in Luoyang City."
Yuan Shu crooked his mouth and nodded unyieldingly. "That is, when it comes to robbery, who can be better than me, the devil in the road. I know that Meng De has not been very lucky recently, and he has suffered several defeats in succession, and he wants to make a contribution for that concubine to see. But I want to remind him that no matter how capable he is, that concubine will not take him seriously. Whether it's Dongjun or Chen Liu, it's not his. If he really wants to do something, he might as well follow me. I'm about to take Chang'an, and if he's interested, he can come and be a general in the west. ”
Yuan Shu held the side of the desk with both hands and leaned back. "At the beginning, the princes begged Dong, and the concubine ignored the hatred of the family and the country, and was bent on annexing his colleagues, and only Cao Mengde waved his army westward. On this point, although he was defeated, I Yuan Shu still admired him. If he is willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, I can give him this Nanyang Taishou. He lifted the ribbon around his waist and flashed at Ding Fei. I am already the pastor of Jingzhou, and it is impossible to serve as the Taishou of Nanyang again. ”
Ding Fei was silent, but his eyes were dripping and rolling. Yuan Shu ignored him, turned around and laughed with Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. With this turn of face, he immediately changed into a person, he didn't have the momentum just now, but like a bad uncle who was disrespectful to the old man, he was vigorously selling the concubines around him to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. The more embarrassed Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were, the more proud he became, and he laughed happily. Ding Fei watched from the side, his eyes became more and more uneasy, sat for a while, and got up to say goodbye.
"Go ahead, ask Cao Mengde if he has any good horses, and if so, give me one."
Ding Fei answered, got up and left. Yuan Shu didn't get up, so he didn't see it, and continued to talk nonsense with Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. Sun Ce looked at it for a while, and suddenly understood something. Yuan Shu didn't pretend just now, he really looked down on Cao Cao, he didn't think that Cao Cao's occupation of Wancheng was a threat, maybe he really wanted to say that Cao Cao was surrendered.
It's inflated enough.
"Bo Fu, do you really want to see Cao Mengde?" Yuan Shu suddenly asked.
"It's all up to General Ming's orders."
"If you want me to say, it's better to go and see me. Although this Cao Mengde is of little use, short and ugly, he is worthy of being a big husband. He wants to see you, in addition to sowing discord, he probably has the meaning of sympathy. He killed more people in Jinan than you killed in Xiangyang, and he attracted a lot of infamy for this, and now he finally met his bosom friend. But you have to watch out for him, this dwarf is an assassin, and he is ruthless. ”
"Assassins?"
"Well, that concubine took a fancy to him when he thought he was ruthless enough, and wanted to use him as an eagle dog, and sent him to assassinate Zhang Rang, but unfortunately he was discovered. He didn't have any good intentions when he asked you to meet, you have to guard against him. ”
Sun Ce stared at Yuan Shu, annoyed and a little confused. Cao Cao was Yuan Shaoyang's assassin? That's right, there are historical sources that Cao Cao assassinated Zhang Rang, and was later interpreted as a seven-star treasure knife to stab Dong Zhuo, but ...... Yuan Shao took a fancy to Cao Cao's martial arts and used him as an assassin?
He also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to meet for Cao Cao's life, but he didn't expect that Cao Cao might be playing the same idea and wanting his life.
Sure enough, the hero sees the same thing.
"Thank you, General, for reminding me."
"Go to him and tell him what I mean. If he is willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, I really let him be the Taishou of Nanyang, and in the future, he will lead the army to the west to conquer Chang'an, and satisfy his wish to conquer the west. If he doesn't know each other, then leave Wancheng as soon as possible, those families can't really support him. ”
"Whoa." Sun Ce bowed down to receive the order.
Yuan Shu looked at Zhou Yu again, his eyes were burning and full of ruthlessness. "Gong Jin, you said yes, Cao Cao occupied Wancheng, what should we do next?"
Zhou Yu was not in a hurry. "Since the general wants to subdue Cao Cao, then he is not in a hurry to attack Wancheng, and send General Sun out of the town of Yuzhou to stabilize Yingchuan and Runan counties, so that Xu You has no gaps to drill."
Yuan Shu nodded repeatedly. "When you close the door and hit the dog, you have to close the door first. Gong Jin, you're so right, what else? ”
Zhou Yu was silent for a moment, and then said, "Please send someone to guard the Wuguan Pass, so that Dong Zhuo will not take advantage of the situation." If possible, send people to Chang'an to pay tribute and get the support of the imperial court. ”
Yuan Shu's eyes flickered. "Is this necessary?"
"Yes." Zhou Yu is categorical. "Last year, Shandong Prefecture and County begged Dong, but the princes did not move forward, and there were probably not a few people who were disappointed in the imperial court. If the general sends people to pay tribute, the court knows that the general is loyal and righteous, and there will be a reward, so the ministers will distinguish between Zhu Zi, distinguish between loyalty and treachery, good and evil, and no longer be confused by false names. ”
Yuan Shu's eyes lit up, he thought for a moment, nodded again and again, and grinned. "Gong Jin, you still have insight. That's right, that concubine has always regarded himself as a gentleman, and it is time for me to tear off his hypocrite's skin and let the world see his true face. ”
