Chapter 450: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
Wulu didn't even dare to say a word, but crawled out and ran in the direction of Hanoi with his entourage.
He has been on many missions, and he has never seen someone as unreasonable as Sun Ce. Where is this negotiation, this is simply a threat. He didn't know if Zhang Yan would agree, but for the sake of his own life, the farther away from Sun Ce the better, and it was best not to see this person in his life.
Sun Ce drove away Wulu, waved his hand, Jiang Qin understood, and was about to take away Sun Ce's battle robes, armor, combat boots, and foot clothes, but was stopped by Sun Ce. He didn't understand what he meant. "General, ...... Not okay? ”
"What's so bad? Even if I burn incense and bathe, they won't take me seriously, and they just stink him. ”
Jiang Qin couldn't help but laugh and turned to go out. After a while, Lu Cui walked over, stood at the door of the tent and smelled the strong smell of sweat, immediately raised his hand to cover his nose, stopped, frowned, and looked at Jiang Qin with disdain. Jiang Qin was embarrassed, lowered his head, and did not speak.
Sun Ce didn't care, he walked back and forth in the big tent twice barefoot, and said angrily: "You either come in and talk, or get out, what's the matter if you stand at the door?" Blocking the wind? ”
Lu Cui was very unhappy. "General Sun, what kind of hospitality are you?"
"What kind of guest are you?"
"Uh......" Lu Cuideng's face changed, and he was ready to leave without saying a word. It wasn't the first time he had seen Sun Ce, he was very polite before, but now he was so rude, it really made him unacceptable.
Sun Ce looked a little anxious, pacing back and forth, muttering from time to time, his eyes were fierce for a while, anxious for a while, and his brows were twisted into pimples. Occasionally glancing at Lu Cui, it always made Lu Cui feel a chill inexplicably. Lu Cui was apprehensive in his heart, and his attitude softened unconsciously. He came on a secret mission, and if he annoyed Sun Ce and returned in vain, Yuan Tan would not forgive him.
After thinking about it for a long time, Lu Cui still pinched his nose and walked in, bowing to Sun Ce. Sun Ce motioned for him to take a seat. Lu Cui looked at the big footprints on the seat, and his throat churned, but he still sat down forcibly, trying to choose a place that had not been stepped on by Sun Ce.
"What are Yuan Xiansi's plans, want to fight, want to make peace?"
"If you want to fight and make peace, it's all in the general." Lu Cui tried his best to make himself look calm, but this was really a very difficult task, he couldn't help but breathe, but the smell in the big tent was too strong, and every breath was suicide. When I go back this time, I must ask Yuan Tan for more rewards, otherwise it will be too much of a loss, and I will have to live for several years.
"In me? Hum! Sun Ce sneered: "Yuan Xiansi has been very bold recently. ”
"It's okay, General Yuan and the Montenegrin army have fought dozens of battles, and every battle must be defeated. If it weren't for the general's cooperation, Yu Poison and the others would have been awarded the head a long time ago. ”
"That's okay, you go back, tell him that you don't have to cooperate with me, you can fight as much as you want, I'll watch and see when he can take Junyi and cut off the head of Yu Poison and Bitter Chief. If he had a kind, he could come and attack me and see who could have the last laugh. ”
Lu Cui closed his mouth and said nothing. Sun Ce's mood was not right, which was far from his expectations. Sun Ce's personal guards rode into Chenliu County, and Yuan Tan cooperated to withdraw the encirclement and let the Black Mountain Army survive, Sun Ce should be grateful, why is it like this?
Is there something new?
Lu Cui was puzzled. Chen Liu's situation now not only has the army of Yuan Tan, Zhu Ling, and Liu Bei, but also the brothers of Chen Liu's Taishou Zhang Miao, as well as the Black Mountain Army, and now Sun Ce is here, and the relationship between friends and foes is intertwined and complicated. If it is said that because of the change in strength, a certain side wants to change the hexagram and change the camp, this is the most common thing. If you don't grasp the opportunity in time, it's hard to say when someone will stab you.
As an emissary, Lu Cui is not only responsible for informing the two sides, but also for gathering intelligence. The envoy can meet the opponent's generals, which is an unapproachable goal for ordinary meticulous work, and it is also a heavy task that only henchmen can undertake.
Lu Cui thought about it carefully, suddenly understood, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Not long ago, Xin Bi came to Yanzhou and became Yuan Tan's confidant. Xin Bi is a famous scholar in Yingchuan and a leader among the younger generation, Du Xi, who is as famous as him, is now Pei Guoxiang, and Zhao Yan is Xinye Ling, all of whom have been reused by Sun Ce. Xin Bi escorted Yuan Yao back to Ruyang, but the errand was smashed and he ran to Wancheng for a few months, but now he suddenly came to Yuan Tan's side, which was synchronized with Sun Ce's entry into Luoyang.
Could Xin Bi be Sun Ce's internal response buried by Yuan Tan's side, Sun Ce wanted Xin Bi to replace him and become the liaison between him and Yuan Tan. It's entirely possible, he once refused Sun Ce's invitation, and Sun Ce held a grudge, which was too normal. And Xin Bi stayed in Wancheng for so long, to say that he had nothing to do with Sun Ce, no one would believe it.
Lu Cui endured the discomfort and squeezed out a smile. He had mastered the secret of Yuan Tan's contact with Sun Ce, and if Yuan Tan wanted to replace him, he would never let him leave, and maybe he would find a reason to put him to death. This is probably another reason for Sun Ce to do this: to kill him by Yuan Tan's hand.
"The general's words are serious, if General Yuan has the intention of fighting with the general, how can he let the Black Mountain bandits break through and destroy them directly in the field, wouldn't it be better to return to the division and fight the general."
"Hey, he's daring." Sun Ce was dismissive. "You General Yuan rely on the portal of the Yuan family, and there is no problem for you celebrities to bow down and be ministers, just say a few empty words. If you want to make the generals who command the army bow their heads, I am afraid it is not so easy to get a good record. Liu Bei is easy to repeat and is ready to slip away at any time, Zhu Ling can fight, but because he can fight, he will put you General Yuan in his eyes? The eldest son of the eldest son commanded the army to go on the expedition, this is a fall from grace, you can't understand it, and others can't understand it? ”
Lu Cui's face changed greatly, and then he smiled again: "Why should the general be so alarmist. Don't forget, general, you are also the eldest son. ”
Sun Ce laughed. "It's true that I'm the eldest son, but I can fight. I annihilated 20,000 Xiliang elites in one battle, and forced Liu Bei to flee overnight in another battle, even my father thought that I was better than the blue. Besides, my Sun family has no intention of plotting to usurp the throne, does it make sense for father and son to be jealous? It's just a Wucheng Hou, let it go. Can Yuan Tan be as generous as me and give up the inheritance to others? ”
Lu Cui's eyes rolled back and forth twice, and he suddenly laughed. "The general can be better than the blue, why can't General Yuan? When the alliance leader was so young, he was just a Puyang Order, and General Yuan is now a heavy general who commands tens of thousands of horses and holds a state. If there is a son like this, how can the leader of the Yuan League risk the disapproval of the world and abolish the elder and the young. General Sun, you don't have to say these words, even if I am stupid and bewitched by you, General Yuan's father and son are wise and decisive, and they will not fall for your plan. ”
Sun Ce sneered and waved his hand. "Then there's nothing to say, you go back, let Yuan Tan get ready, our two eldest sons have a fight, see if I solve this problem for Yuan Shao, or if Yuan Tan can play a better record than the battle of the boundary bridge, proving that he is better than the blue." Hehe, I'm not Gongsun Zhan, you tell him to be careful. ”
