Yuan Shu said: "Okay, good, Bo Fu can have such an idea, very good, very good!" It's just that the jade seal of the country that Bo Fu said just now, but I don't know where this thing is? ”

After thinking about the current situation for a while, now Yuan Shu is most concerned about the jade seal of the country, Yuan Shu knows in his heart that as long as he gets this thing, then he is one step closer to becoming the emperor. Anyway, that's what he thinks in his heart, because he always remembers two sentences, the first sentence is "The one who gets the jade seal wins the world", so the jade seal must be in his own bag, so this doesn't mean that the world will be his own sooner or later.

And the second sentence is the so-called proverb that he didn't know where he heard it, called "Those who represent the Han Dynasty, when Tu Gao" (Note (1)), and this proverb, no matter what Yuan Shu thinks, he thinks that he thinks it is himself in the end, and he will not be wrong. Why does he have such thoughts, but this has to start from the time when he was fighting Liu Miao in Yangzhou.

That was after the battle with Liu Xuan, and he occupied Jiujiang County. He really hadn't heard this proverb before, but after occupying Jiujiang, Lujiang and other places, he heard this proverb by chance. At that time, Yuan Shu thought about it, because the "Han Dynasty" in front of him didn't need to think about it, mainly the sentence in the back, "When Tu Gao", what does this sentence mean.

After that, Yuan Shu also sent a lot of people to investigate for a long time, and then he thought about it for a whole night before he finally figured out that the meaning of "when Tu Gao" was actually to make himself the emperor, and there was no other meaning.

In the past, he really didn't know about Lu Dao, but after occupying Jiujiang, he was considered to know Lu Dao, and Dangtu was a county seat in Jiujiang County. Then it didn't take long to hear this proverb, so Yuan Shu had to think of it at that time. Does this "when Tu Gao" refer to the person with the surname Gao in the place where Tu is, but after sending a lot of people to investigate, it was indeed found that when Tu is not without a surname Gao, but there are three people together, and they are all honest and farming, so how can they go to Daihan.

So after a night of thinking about it, Yuan Shu finally figured out that the so-called "those who represent the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gao" actually means. Those who can replace the Han Dynasty must build a high platform in the place of Dangtu, and then be canonized by heaven and earth, and finally become the new emperor.

And this is the meaning of "those who represent the Han Dynasty, when Tu Gao". So this emperor can only do it himself. Otherwise, I hadn't heard of Dangtu before, but as soon as I entered Jiujiang, I would have known the Tao. And then it wasn't long before another proverb came out. Doesn't this all show that he is the one who represents the Han? It's a real destiny.

Yuan Shu felt that what he was thinking, and he almost went mad after the end. And every day he dreamed of being the emperor, but unfortunately there was no heirloom jade seal, so he even dreamed that he was holding the heirloom jade seal in his hand, and then became the emperor, and he won the world after the most embarrassing. It is worshiped by 10,000 people. What Yuan Benchu, what Ma Mengqi, Cao Mengde and the like, all of them were trampled under their feet by themselves, and they finally became the first emperor of the ages.

It's a pity that when I woke up after the last time, I realized the way. It's just a dream. But today's arrival of Sun Ce made him feel that owning the heirloom jade seal would no longer be a dream, but would become real. So there is no need to mention the excitement in his heart, if it weren't for Sun Ce being in his own house, he Yuan Shu would be able to dance at this time.

Sun Ce smiled when he heard this, and quickly opened the burden he brought, then took out the wooden box, and after opening the wooden box again, in front of Yuan Shu, he picked up the heirloom jade seal.

Yuan Shu looked at the heirloom jade seal in Sun Ce's hand, his eyes were indeed shining, really, the essence was shining. His long-cherished wish for many years is about to come true, and at this time, Yuan Shu's heartbeat is at least one hundred and eight per minute, which shows that he is excited.

"Uncle, Bo Fu, do you see if you can show me the jade seal of the country?"

Sun Ce smiled and knew the meaning of Yuan Shu, so he stepped forward and handed the jade seal to Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu took the jade seal as if he had taken over the treasure. Then I caressed it, I watched it over and over again, yes, this is really the jade seal of the country. "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang" eight seal characters, this is Li Si carved back then. And the heirloom jade seal is engraved with five dragons, missing a corner, which is inlaid with gold, yes, it is not bad at all, it is the heirloom jade seal. The so-called "real can't be fake, fake can't be true", Yuan Shu naturally knows the Tao.

And Sun Ce saw that Yuan Shu was like this now, and he knew that his today's affairs were mostly done. It is estimated that at this time, it is impossible for him to get back the heirloom jade seal from Yuan Shu's hands, but that thing was given to him by himself. And as long as he is a horse, of course the stone will be given to him, as a small gift to him before he leaves.

Sun Ce said at this time: "I don't know how Gong Yuan thought about what he said before?" ”

How can Yuan Shu have time to deal with Sun Ce now, he is immersed in his dream of being an emperor, and as a result, he heard someone talking to him, and he saw that it was Sun Ce, but he didn't hear what Sun Ce said clearly just now, so he asked, "Bo Fu, what did you just say?" ”

Sun Ce smiled secretly in his heart, I'm not afraid that you are like this, I am afraid that you don't like the jade seal of the country, but everything is as I expected, so I don't have to worry about you Yuan Shu not coming out of the horse.

"Yuan Gong, Ce just said, I don't know what Yuan Gong said before the countermeasures to borrow troops, how is he thinking about it now?"

Yuan Shu really heard it clearly this time, and said in his heart that you Sun Bofu still haven't forgotten about borrowing troops, but this is not impossible. Aren't you going to use the heirloom jade seal as collateral, and then borrow troops from yourself. But when the time comes, hehe, the jade seal of the country is my Yuan Highway, how is your grandson Fu Ai, but I Yuan Highway doesn't know about it.

Now that Yuan Shu is ready, how should he deny it and not admit it, but he doesn't know that Sun Ce is simply not ready to bring back the jade seal of the country, what he wants is just people. However, Yuan Shu didn't know about Lu Dao, for him, how could he spit out what he ate. Especially if it is the heirloom jade seal that I dream of, this is even more impossible. If he Sun Bofu knew the current affairs, it would be easy to say. If not, hehe, then don't blame yourself for not being emotional.

"Ah, that's what happened! Alas, Bo Fu, you also know that there are not too many people and horses here now, so you have taken out the jade seal of the country today, so I will also give you 3,000 men and horses. Then the food, grass and weapons are all prepared for you, what do you think? ”

In Yuan Shu's opinion, he took out 3,000 men and horses to lend to Sun Ce, which was already a great kindness. In normal times, let alone 3,000 people. Even if it's three hundred, he Sun Ce and Sun Bofu can't touch it, and he can't lead it personally.

Sun Ce heard this. He really secretly despised Yuan Shu. The heart said that you Yuan Highway is too stingy, and you will send 3,000 people to exchange for a jade seal of the country that you dream of. Maybe these 3,000 people are estimated to be less than the number of guards in a county, and you are really too stingy.

Sun Ce's words to Ma Chao are clear, and he has to change the jade seal of the country to at least 5,000 people. It's only three thousand, you Yuan Highway want to send yourself? How can there be such a good thing in this world?

So Sun Ce said: "Duke Yuan, now Ce is holding the jade seal of the country as a hostage, but you only lend Ce 3,000 people. That's not enough. If that's the case, then I think this matter will be over! ”

After speaking, Sun Ce wanted to step forward and get back the jade seal of the country, but this time Yuan Shu didn't do it, and hurriedly said to Sun Ce: "Slow, Bofu is slow!" There are still discussions on this matter, and there are discussions on it! Do you think 3,000 people are less, that's good, so how many people do you think is appropriate, tell me? It's not that it's not negotiable, you don't have to be so anxious! ”

Yuan Shuxin said, you are in a hurry to snatch my heirloom jade seal, this treasure can not be returned to your hands now, it can only be in the hands of my Yuan Highway, so it is the best and most secure.

Sun Ce said to him: "Don't hide it from Yuan Gong, Ce thinks that he will have at least about 8,000 men!" ”

Yuan Shu, who was playing with the jade seal of the country, heard this, and said in his heart Eight thousand people, Sun Bofu, you really dare to open your mouth, how many eight thousand people are there in total, you have to borrow eight thousand people at once, and I don't know how many of these eight thousand people can come back after the most Lu Dao, how can I promise to lend you eight thousand people!

Yuan Shu said: "That's it, Bo Fu, 8,000 people is definitely not good, I will borrow 4,000 troops from you, do you think it's good?" ”

Hearing this, Sun Ce slowly shook his head, "Yuan Gong, Ce thinks that he needs seven thousand men to do it!" ”

This time it was Yuan Shu's turn and he shook his head, "Then five thousand, but it can't be more, this is already half a thousand, don't be too little!" ”

Sun Ce snickered in his heart at this time, and said Yuan Highway, Yuan Highway, if he had listened to what you said before, then he might have to take two thousand fewer people today. Obviously, I can give myself 5,000 men and horses, but I said before that I would give 3,000, so it's good that you have a Yuan Highway, and fortunately you came prepared, otherwise you would really fall under your calculations today.

As for the number of people, Sun Ce didn't fight for it, after all, for him, he was actually very content with five thousand people. Although he felt that if there were more people, it was estimated that Yuan Highway would not be able to take it out for himself. But how much is enough, it's almost enough, and people can't be too greedy. Therefore, now that you have achieved your intended goal, it is the best result.

"Okay, then, thank you Yuan Gong! Five thousand is five thousand, and the strategy will not be insatiable! ”

Sun Ce said, and Yuan Shu is rare, and at this time he actually nodded to Sun Ce. Yuan Shu obviously also knew that Sun Ce was content with this, so he nodded to Sun Ce. Otherwise, he would have been staring at the jade seal a long time ago, and he would have had time to care about anything else.

So in this way, early Yuan Shu saw that Sun Ce used the jade seal of the country as a hostage, and then borrowed 5,000 troops from himself to deal with Liu Xuan and vent his anger for his uncle. As for Sun Ce, it was a different idea. In his opinion, he just used a stone that was of little use to him, in exchange for 5,000 men. That's 5,000 people, not a small number, but it's the first time I've ever led 5,000 people in person—

Sun Ce left Yuan Shu's mansion, and both of them had their own thoughts, thinking that they had made a lot of money.

Sun Ce returned to his residence and met Cheng Pu and the five of them.

After Cheng Pu saw his lord, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Congratulations to the lord, I borrowed people from Yuan Highway!" ”

Sun Ce smiled, it seems that the jade seal is gone, and he was discovered by Cheng Pu at once, and he really has very eyesight.

And the other people were naturally the same as Cheng Pu, and when Sun Ce told them that he had borrowed 5,000 people, everyone was even more happy. For them, as long as there are these 5,000 people, then they may not be able to make a career in Jiangdong.

Because now there are people and horses, money is also available, and as for military supplies, Yuan Highway is also arranged, so if you can't take Jiangdong anymore, then you and others don't have to go to your father-in-law to have a career, and they all go home to farm and pick up their children. (To be continued......)

PS: Note (1): When Tu Gao, this should be Tu in the ancient language has an ancient explanation, but I don't use that here. And Dangtu was indeed a county under the jurisdiction of Jiujiang County at that time, but what followed was a personal fiction, everyone understands this.
