Although Xu Kun guessed Xu Yi's intention, he didn't expect Xu Yi to be so direct, and asked him this question directly as soon as he came up: "Brother Tai is straightforward in his chest, but he is blunt." ”

Xu Yi smiled slightly, and replied: "Brother Xu has been chaotic for a long time, and he must have guessed my intentions, your friendship with me is brotherly love, I treat Brother Tai with sincerity, and I hope Brother Tai can also treat me with sincerity." ”

Xu Kun shook his head slightly, and said, "What if I support Shao Gongzi to inherit Wu Hou's position, and what if I support the second son to inherit Wu Hou's position?" Since Brother Tai treats me with sincerity, then in Brother Tai's opinion, how should I act now? ”

Xu Yi thought for a moment and made an answer that Xu Kun didn't expect anyway: "Brother Xu is different from me, Brother Tai is a relative of the Sun family, whether it is Shao Gongzi inheriting Wu Hou's position, or the second son inheriting Wu Hou's position, you must reuse a capable relative like Brother Tai, so Brother Tai doesn't have to make a choice at this time, Brother Tai only needs to follow when the general trend has been decided, so it is the best strategy for Brother Tai!" ”

When Xu Kun heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "According to your position, I thought you would persuade me to support Shao Gongzi to inherit Wu Hou's position, but I didn't expect you to suggest that I sell at a price, I have to say, this is indeed a good policy, and Brother Tai is indeed treating me with sincerity." But if I act like this, why did you come to Wu County to see me? ”

Xu Yi smiled slightly and said: "There are two ways to sell at a price, one is to be completely neutral and not help each other, in this way, although it will not completely offend either party, it will also cause the unhappiness of both parties at the same time, which is not conducive to the future career of Brother Tai; Another way is to give convenience to both sides at the same time, in order to meet the source left and right, only in this way, no matter who inherits Wu Hou's position in the future, Brother Tai will be reused, I don't know if Brother Xu thinks so? ”

Xu Kun understood Xu Yi's mind after a little thought, and said, "Brother Tai, but what convenience do you want me to give?" ”

Xu Yi saw that Xu Kun had no intention of refusing, and then said: "Zhang Zigang supports Sun Quan to inherit Wu Hou's position, Mrs. Sun should have been moved by what they said, and now Shao Gongzi is still under the control of Zhang Zigang and others, if there is a change, Zhang Zigang and others may do unforeseen things!" The lord only has one son, Shao Gongzi, and I, as the lord general, should ensure that the lord and son have no heirs no matter what, I don't know if Brother Xu thinks so? ”

Sun Ce had a lot of kindness to Xu Kun, and Xu Kun was also very grateful to Sun Ce, and replied solemnly when he heard this: "Shao Gongzi is the only son of the lord, we will definitely ensure Shao Gongzi's safety, brother Tai, rest assured, the soldiers and horses of Wu County are under my control, and I will do my best to ensure Shao Gongzi's safety." ”

Xu Yi laughed and said: "The soldiers and horses in Wu County have a great relationship, many children of the Jiangdong Shi clan are officers and generals in the army, Zhang Zigang and others have a deep relationship with the Jiangdong Shi clan, if there is a need, he will definitely be able to mobilize the children of the Jiangdong Shi clan for his own use." Zhang Zigang is the chief of the lord's history, I'm afraid that even Brother Xu can't disobey his orders, right? Shao Gongzi is still in infancy, and only a small accident can take the life of a young child, even if Brother Xu takes care of it, I'm afraid there is no way to pay attention to Shao Gongzi's safety all the time, right? ”

Xu Kun also knew that what Xu Yi said was the truth, although there were not many soldiers and horses in Wu County, but the forces were staggered, Sun Ce in order to balance the forces of all parties, he also deliberately let this go, although he was the chief general of Wu County, but in order not to arouse the jealousy of others, he did not dare to forcibly integrate the soldiers and horses of Wu County. Therefore, the Wu County army was mixed with sand by many forces, and he did not dare to say that he could absolutely control this army of soldiers and horses.

Xu Kun thought for a moment and said, "Then in my brother's opinion, what should I do?" ”

Xu Yi also thought for a moment, sorted out his words, and then continued: "General Taishi, General Dong, and our generals are all confidants of the lord, and only by placing Shao Gongzi under our escort can Shao Gongzi's absolute safety be guaranteed. We plan to pick Shao Gongzi out when he goes to the Dantu camp, but if we want to complete this matter, we need to be given a certain amount of convenience by my brother. ”

Xu Kun also knew that Sun Shao was under the control of Zhang Hong and others, and it was indeed a little dangerous, if this matter was not difficult to do, he was also willing to cooperate with Tai Shici and others to take Sun Shao out and keep Sun Ce's bloodline, of course, if this matter is too dangerous, it is still avoided, although Xu Kun values Sun Ce's kindness, but as the saying goes, people die like lights go out, in Xu Kun's heart, the life and death of the Xu family of Wu County is more important.

Xu Kun squinted his eyes slightly and thought for a while, and said: "I don't know how convenient I should give, Brother Tai has just said, it is indeed difficult for me to absolutely control this army of soldiers and horses, as long as Brother Tai is not too strong, I am willing to cooperate to protect the heirs of the lord!" ”

"Hahahaha, don't worry, Brother Tai, I sincerely came to plan this matter for Brother Tai, how dare I make it difficult?"

Xu Yi laughed a few times and said: "Old Mrs. Sun and the master mother and son came to Dantu to deal with the aftermath of the lord, and we should welcome the Jiangdong generals with great fanfare, and General Taishi and others have already indicated that they will lead three thousand iron horsemen out of the camp for thirty miles to meet the lord's people, so as to carry forward the prestige of our Jiangdong army and deter the surrounding princes!" General Taishi led the army to greet the lord's clan, and he went to meet the lord's mother and son, I believe Brother Tai can understand this, right? After General Taishi visited his mother, if the mother was too sad and wanted to go to the funeral first, he still needed his brother not to do anything to stop him. ”

After listening to Xu Yi's words, Xu Kun understood the plan of Tai Shici and the others, which was nothing more than wanting to take the first step to welcome Sun Shao into his army as a symbol, but if he did so, there seemed to be no disadvantage to himself.

"Brother Tai laughed, General Taishi is my Jiangdong general, he came out of the camp thirty miles to meet the lord and Shao Gongzi, how dare I stop it, otherwise wouldn't I become Dong Zhuo's generation? Shao Gongzi is still in infancy, and he can't express his wishes, but the master mother is half of my Jiangdong master, if the master mother wants to go to the funeral first, as a minister of Jiangdong, how dare I refute the intention of the master mother? ”

"Brother Tai can rest assured, I will not interfere in this matter!"

Xu Yi laughed and said: "Brother Tai is loyal and admired, but I don't dare to make Brother Tai too embarrassed, and after General Taishi appears, Brother Tai can send someone to the Dantu camp to inform about this." ”

Xu Kun and Xu Yi looked at each other and smiled tacitly, everything was silent......
