Chapter 4 Twenty-one, ambition is hard to hide

Yangzhou, Huainan County, Shouchun.

If you have to use one word to describe the mood of Yuan Shu and his generals at this time, it is disgusting, disgusting to the point of wanting to vomit.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they couldn't have imagined how a teenager could look like thisβ€”a thin face, small eyes, high cheekbones, a collapsed nose, and a mouth full of teeth.

That's right, what they saw was the ugly handsome under the old seat of the ten sages - Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan.

He was ordered to go north this time, with two tasks: one was to try to recruit the Weiyun remnants who were trapped in Pingchun, and the other was to persuade Yuan Shu to help contain Sun Ce.

Pang Tong was not surprised at all by the reaction of Yuan Shu and others, he was very confident in his appearance......

"You...... Vomit...... You say you're here to help me, but I don't know who you are. Yuan Shu asked as much as he could control the urge to vomit.

"In Xia Pang Tong, the character Shiyuan, the Dao number 'Feng Yan', Jiangdong against Sun Ce's immortal Dao Yuji disciples. I heard that General Yuan was eloquent and strategic, so I came to offer advice. Pang Tong said calmly, not at all like a seventeen-year-old boy.

"Oh? Pang Gongzi might as well talk about it. Hearing that he was the one who rebelled against Sun Ce, Yuan Shu suddenly felt a little more favorable.

"Now the Han family is in decline, and the world is in chaos. And the general is majestic in Huainan, and the soldiers are full of food, which is the time to achieve a great cause. Moreover, I have heard that the treasure that Sun Jian obtained in Luoyang back then, the jade seal of the country, has long fallen into the hands of the general. Why didn't the general take advantage of this time to ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Plan and change the dynasty? ”

When Yuan Shu heard this, he felt a burst of joy in his heart. He did have this idea for a long time, but for the sake of face and fear of opposition from other princes, he didn't say it.

"This ......"

"Are you trying to harm my father-in-law?" Without waiting for Yuan Shu to speak, his master Yan Xiang spoke first to object.

"What do you call this adult?"

"Under the account of General Yuan, Yan Xiang."

"I don't know what Lord Yan means by what he said?"

"My lord is a famous family, and he has been loyal and good for generations, how can he do such a rebellious act! Besides, now that the Han Emperor still exists, how can there be more than one or two loyal people in the world? If the lord of my family listens to your words and becomes the emperor, won't he become the target of the public? Yan Xiang said with a little annoyance.

"The princes of the world? Hehe, I don't know who the adults are referring to? ”

"Yuan Shao, the elder brother of the main prince, Cao Cao of Yanzhou, Liu Bei of Xuzhou, Xiao Pei Lu Bu, Xiliang Ma Teng, plus Sun Ce, who turned his back. At this time, we can be said to be surrounded by enemies on all sides, in such a situation, you still want my family master to be the emperor? ”

"Yes, Master Pang, it seems inappropriate to be called emperor at this time." Although Yuan Shu also felt that it was not appropriate to be the emperor after listening to Yan Xiang's analysis, he was still a little unwilling.

"General Yuan, you might as well let me count it for you: Yuan Shao still has to guard against Gongsun Zan at this time, how can he use troops in the south; Liu Bei and Lu Bu are intrigued, and they have no time to care; As for Cao Cao, Yanzhou Chuping, if he sends troops to attack, he will be attacked and killed by Liu Bei. Therefore, the general must be cautious, but Sun Ce is alone. ”

Pang Tong's analysis made Yuan Shu a little moved, and he couldn't help but ask a little eagerly: "Then according to the child's opinion, how should Sun Ce be dealt with?" ”

Pang Tong touched his chin and smiled slightly: "To deal with the tiger, you only need to bind its feet and shut its mouth." ”

"Childe mean?"

"The previous time, Sun Ce's mother said goodbye, and the general must be angry when she thought about it. But if Sun Ce is to be controlled, the general can no longer pursue the matter. The general might as well tell him that he is willing to fund his grain, grass and ordnance, and return the jade seal of the country, but ask him to send someone to get it. When his men arrived, they took the opportunity to detain him and use them as hostages to control his movements. ”

"Heh, I'm afraid that the person he sent will not be enough to be a hostage, and it will be self-defeating." Yan Xiang said disdainfully.

Pang Tong didn't mind Yan Xiang's attitude, but patiently explained: "Indeed, these alone are not enough for Sun Ce to send dignitaries here, but what if you add the bones of his father Sun Jian and his mother Wu Qin? ”

"What?!" Even Yuan Shu was shocked, Sun Jian was ambushed and buried in the chaos of stones with Wu Qin. Since then, the road has been blocked, and it is impossible to search for it, so it has been left there. How did this Pang Tong recover the bones of the two people?

In fact, before Pang Tong came to Shouchun, he went to Jingzhou first.

The first person he visited was Huang Zu in Jiangxia, and after some lobbying, Pang Tong finally convinced Huang Zu of the fact that if Sun Ce stood firm, he would inevitably come to him for revenge.

So Huang Zu agreed to send troops to help him lift the siege of Pingchun.

After that, Pang Tong explained his intention to the three sub-commanders in Pingchun City and suggested that the two sides cooperate temporarily. After discussion, the three leaders unanimously agreed.

After all, their common enemy at this time was Sun Ce.

At the request of Pang Tong, Yan Xue and others came to the site where Sun Jian was ambushed, and it took many days to finally dig up the bones of him and Wu Qin.

In this way, Pang Tong came to Shouchun with the bones of Sun Jian and his wife, and the three sub-commanders led their subordinates to secretly go to Huiji.

At this time, Pang Tong handed over the bargaining chips that were enough to blackmail Sun Ce to Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu was completely shaken.

In such a situation, what could stop him?

Yan Xiang knew that it was useless to say anything, so he could only sigh and shake his hand and return to his seat.

"My lord, the last general has not spoken." Ji Ling stood up suddenly, "According to the general, even the emperor is difficult to protect himself now, and it is not impossible to call the emperor." Even if the other princes are not satisfied, the last general will seek peace for the lord! ”

"The last general is willing to ask for the Quartet for the Lord!"

"The last general is willing to ask for the Quartet for the Lord!"

Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui and other generals also immediately stood up and expressed their positions.

Immediately after, all the civil and military forces stood up, and only Yan Xiang sat in place, drinking alone.

"Oh, hehe, since the destiny is like this, it is not good for General Ben to refuse." Yuan Shu couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and said with a laugh.

"The grass people knock to see Your Majesty." Pang Tong wasted no time in adding fuel to the fire.

"Your Majesty." The whole hall of civil and military officers was instigated by him, and they all saluted Yuan Shu.

Pang Tong fell respectfully to the ground, his face almost touching the ground. But in his heart, there was only ridicule of Yuan Shu......

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Yanzhou, Shanyang County, south of Changyi.

Although Yi Shuai Qin Shao had said that Duan Xuan and Zhang Feng's night attack orders had been withdrawn, Duan Xuan was still not at ease.

Therefore, when Qin Shao proposed to patrol outside the city, Duan Xuan deliberately left Zhang Feng by Cao Cao's side.

After all, Qin Shao's actions that day were too dangerous, and it can be seen that he still has a trace of tolerance for himself, but for Zhang Feng, Qin Shao can't wait to kill him at the first opportunity.

Of course, Qin Shao also knew Duan Xuan's thoughts, so he left Qin Zhen and the two hundred leech camp Yefeng in Changyi.

At this time, Duan Xuan was riding a horse on high alert and following Qin Shao on the forest path. Behind them was a camp of eight hundred leeches with grim faces.

"Yi Shuai, that ...... We've been gone for three hours, is it time to rest? Duan Xuan really felt too depressed, so he suggested to Qin Shao.

"No, you can't. It is densely wooded, and if you are ambushed, it is extremely difficult to escape. ”

Then you're still here! Duan Xuan's heart couldn't stop cursing.

After walking for about two miles, Qin Shao suddenly took the war horse.

"Tell the brethren to be careful." Qin Shao looked at the road in front of him and said with a solemn face.

Duan Xuan followed the direction of his gaze, only to see some faint footprints on the ground, extending into the distance.

"Yi Shuai, what is this?"

"We may have spotted Shen Rong's men."

Duan Xuan also immediately tensed his nerves, carefully discerning the movements around him.

But everything was so quiet, only the sound of birdsong and the wind blowing through the weeds.

Just as Duan Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and was about to continue walking, many people suddenly jumped up among the weeds on both sides of the road.

Armed with short knives, they rushed towards the night front of the leech battalion.

The leech battalion was well-trained in the end, and immediately pulled out the leech thorn from his waist and put on a defensive position.

But these people did not force their way, they stopped five paces away from the leech camp.

"Presumably, this is Qin Shao, the Yi Shuai of the Northern General Hall." Shen Rong walked slowly from the depths of the forest.

"Shen Shuai, you are really here."

Since it is to assassinate Cao Cao, then Shen Rong will not bring too many people, but there are already five or six hundred people in ambush here, so it is conceivable that this should be all the people of Shen Rong near Changyi.

It is also strange to say that more than 600 people crouched on the side of the road, and no one even noticed it.

"Since you're going to ambush here, it means we can't get out of the way today, right?" Qin Shao's expression was very calm.

"You and I are both under the orders of the Night Blade, so why bother to say more." As he spoke, Shen Rong waved his hand, and his subordinates began to attack.

It's just that this so-called offense is not about fighting to the death.

Shen Rong's subordinates all raised their left hands and released armpins from their cuffs.

This kind of short hidden weapon only has a range of five steps.

The night blade of the leech camp couldn't help but feel funny, what was the use of such a small thing? It seems that the strength of the other party is no more than that.

They only figuratively knocked down a few, after which, ignoring the second round of fire, rushed straight ahead.

"Huh?"

Many of the leech camps made doubtful sounds, and then they felt weak and slowly collapsed.

"You're smearing poison on a needle, aren't you?" Qin Shao completely ignored the situation of his subordinates and said to himself.

"Yes, Yi Shuai has good eyesight. Now that you know, why don't you surrender to me at this time? Shen Rong couldn't help but admire Qin Shao's calmness.

"Hehe, I'm afraid it's too early." Qin Shao replied with a smile, "Do you know the terrible thing about my leech camp?" ”

"I want to hear about it. I wonder what's so special about this unit? ”

Shen Rong smiled slightly, but this smile immediately froze on his face.

All of his subordinates were all reactions.

Because, right in front of them, all the fallen leech camp nightfronts used all their strength to stab the leech thorns into the place where they had been shot by needles.

As the bright red blood continued to flow out, they turned out to be ...... They all stood up again.
